Explore: Generic query import/export (#40987)

* Add basic implementation * Split import/export query interface * Rename abstract query type * Rename abstract query type * Split loki/prom parsing * Update docs * Test importing abstract queries to Elastic * Test exporting abstract queries from Graphite * Test Prom and Loki query import/export * Give better control to import/export all queries to data sources * Fix unit test * Fix unit test * Filter out non-existing labels when importing queries to Loki * Fix relative imports, names and docs * Fix import type * Move toPromLike query to Prometheus code * Dedup label operator mappings * importAbstractQueries -> importFromAbstractQueries * Fix unit tests
