Remove confusing <> from variable intro

The existing intro makes it look like you should use `$<varname>` to refer to a variable. That of course is incorrect, and you should use `$varname`. In my experience using the <> marker around variable names should only be used when there isn't something else explicit to set it off. In this case we have `$`. Below, you can see the <> are also not used, because we have the `[[]]` to set it off. The inconsistency is confusing.

Explore: Fix JS error when switching between 2 prometheus datasources

- since the DataQuery rewrite, Explore starts by submitting its queries (Explore cant know if the queries are emtpty)
- The datasource intercepts an empty query and returns an empty list of time series, and also no table for the table query.
- The query hinter then received no series to analyse and was not guarding against this.
- This PR adds this guard.

Sort Prometheus range suggestions by length

Explore: make query field suggestions more robust

- drop invalid history items

- add sortText property to range completion items

Logging's query importer drops all labels that are not common to both datasources.

- keep labels if label lookup of logging datasource came back empty
- easier to remove labels than having to add them in the first place

Margin when listing multiple gf-form 

docs: signout_redirect_url description in auth overview

Currently the footer is based on top margins which looks odd on big screen sizes.
Also, the footer shows up on the top of the page on pages take a moment to load (while ng-view is rendering).

- True sticky footer based on flexbox
- Ensure footer stays at bottom while ng-view div does not exist yet

Explore: Introduce DataQuery interface for query handling

when listing multiple gf-form elements this style is
applied to all elements except the first. By having the
margin on the right side there will always be some margin
between all gf-forms
