[Feature] Custom Default Colors Palette

**What would you like to be added**: A way to customize the default colors palette per dashboard or panel **Why is this needed**: We're hosting grafana locally to show different dashboards for our clients. All of our clients have requested to have different coloring theme for the charts' series. Alias colors would have been fine if the series were a few/limited and they appear all the time. Sometimes the series are too many to count and may change anytime depending on the query selection. take for example showing the top 10 categories of articles which displays 10 different series aliases out of 1000 categories, it will be unreasonable to set the colors using aliases for 1000 changing aliases. The only way this could work dynamically while using your own custom palette is to provide a functionality to override the default colors per dashboard or panel as needed while using one instance of the system. **It's ready to be integrated** :+1: : I actually have implemented that for my company by defining colors in the JSON properties. But I went ahead and wanted to contribute to this great application that helped me a lot and amazed me at the same time. So I decided to build the full feature in a backward compatible manner and with full intuitive UI and I did, you can refer to [this PR for more details](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/17145) Note: What adds more customization abilities can't hurt to add as a feature especially if it doesn't affect the workflow or performa
