Added Initial Time support to Prometheus dashboard

What does this do?

Added Initial Time support to Prometheus dashboard metrics, also incremented initial time for data usage growth chart

How does it look?

I got prometheus working locally in port 9000 with these instructions https://docs.min.io/minio/baremetal/monitoring/metrics-alerts/collect-minio-metrics-using-prometheus.html?ref=con#minio-metrics-collect-using-prometheus
But how you test this on port 5005? 🤔

You can start console server using this flag: CONSOLE_PROMETHEUS_URL=http://localhost:9091/ changing the port according your prometheus settings (just be aware that prometheus is using the same ports as MinIO & Console)

Can we discuss this tomorrow? For me to show you my scenario, then we can decide if we change the Step value.

[cniackz]

My question is, do we want to show just an approximation of the usage or real data?...
If we just want an approximation then this change might be ok, but for some customers I bet this will be confusing as graph may not contain desired points in time.

Setting Step to 10, will see how it behaves, in case something goes strange, we can increment this value
