Recognize other out-of-the-box metrics dashboards

What does this MR do?

Metrics dashboards exist in 2 locations:

  1. The projects repository under .gitlab/dashboards.
  2. Out of the box dashboards are defined in the Gitlab code under config/prometheus.

In order to shorten dashboard URLs, we apply .gitlab/dashboards as a prefix to any metrics dashboard path other than config/prometheus/common_metrics.yml. This allows us to use dashboard.yml instead of .gitlab/dashboards/dashboard.yml, while still allowing config/prometheus/common_metrics.yml. However, there can be more out of the box dashboards defined under config/prometheus.

This MR changes the logic to not add the prefix for any dashboard under config/prometheus. This allows us to define more out of the box dashboards in config/prometheus.
