chore: fixed failing tests

Point the Logs/Traces/Metrics explorer "Add to dashboard" actions at
useGetExportToDashboardLink, so an exported query lands in the V2 panel editor
when use_dashboard_v2 is on (the V1 new-widget link otherwise). ExplorerOptions
now renders the rebuilt ExportPanel dialog directly instead of wrapping it in an
antd Modal.
