Promtail was not shipping logs due to missing /var/lib/promtail directory
and insufficient permissions (not in adm or systemd-journal groups).
Logs Explorer dashboard queries failed on Loki 3.x because allValue ".*"
is rejected as an empty matcher — changed to ".+" which requires at least
one character. Removed unit filter from main Logs query since varlog
streams lack the unit label.

Replace incorrect Prometheus queries across 4 dashboard JSON files:
- incus_uptime_seconds → incus_cpu_effective_total for template vars and counts
- incus_memory_RSS_bytes → incus_memory_Active_bytes (RSS only reports for VMs)
- Uptime panel → Processes panel using incus_procs_total
- Remove wrong instance filter from network deep dive instance panels
- Fix Loki data directory permissions in deploy-observability
Add viewport screenshots of all 9 Grafana dashboards and embed them in
the observability guide with captions and updated descriptions.
