We have a way to create telegraf configurations in the UI today, but clicking the button opens a modal with just a few options: image

Now that we can manually edit telegraf configs in the UI, we should give the user the option to create a new telegraf config without going through the modal.

Acceptance Crit

as a user, i would like the ability to create a new telegraf configuration that i can edit manually as a user, i would like to have the new telegraf config configured to write to my cloud instance already as a user, i would like a way to customize the telegraf config before i save it

I'm ok completely replacing the existing "create telegraf" experience in the app.

I agree. Possibly not even having to remove the current capabilities of the 5 "Automatically configured" plugins but move that experience within the list of plugins total. Ex: I can search for the system plugin in listed of data sources, i can pointy click my way to create a Telegraf + config for it.
