Add graph by URL #31

Instead of requiring users to import from Saved Graphs. For example, a read-only Graphite user with a composed graph but no way to save it. Should be easy enough to add this in the existing accordion form.

This will depend on some UI refactoring of the toolbar. Currently we have the following actions:

[Import Graphs] [New Dashboard] [Add to Dashboard ▼]

I think [New Dashboard] should be merged in as a menu option in the [Add to Dashboard ▼] dropdown. Likewise, this new [Add Graph URL] feature would seem to be an option under [Import Graphs], which should probably evolve into a dropdown as well. Choosing any of these would load the respective dialog in the accordion-group (which, btw, needs to be unified from the current two accordion-groups to a single one).

Proposed toolbar version:

[New Graphs ▼] [Add View to Dashboard ▼]
 Import Saved    Create New
 Paste URL       Existing 1
                 Existing 2

Do not like the way this is turning out. It just feels wrong that dropdown + link == open modal form. I think we'll go back to the original buttons, but with the context change happening inside the modal instead of the trigger button itself.
