fix(observability): stop using Grafana's $__ macro prefix as the SQL "All" sentinel

[JSONbored]

Summary

• Follow-up to fix(observability): fix Grafana dashboards showing no data after deploy #5714 (the dashboard-provisioning-orphan fix) — same live incident, but a distinct, second bug: the AI-usage dashboard's SQLite-backed panels still showed no data after fix(observability): fix Grafana dashboards showing no data after deploy #5714 resolved the provisioning crash, because the panel queries themselves were broken.
• ai-usage.json/maintainer-reviews.json/miner-usage.json used allValue: "$__all" and compared it against a literal '$__all' to detect an unfiltered "All" selection: (${var:sqlstring} = '$__all' OR col = ${var:sqlstring}).
• Confirmed live against the real Grafana + frser-sqlite-datasource instance: ${var:sqlstring} does not SQL-quote a value that itself starts with $__ (Grafana treats it as a macro reference, not literal data), so the substituted query carried the raw unquoted token $__all on both sides. SQLite then parsed that token as its own $__all named bind parameter, which was never supplied — every "All"-filtered panel either errored (missing named argument "__all") or silently returned zero rows, even with fresh underlying data (verified: the redacted reporting export had 61,741 rows with a last-event timestamp minutes old — this ruled out a data/pipeline problem entirely).
• Fix: switch the sentinel to a plain string (__ALL__) that sqlstring quotes normally — verified with a direct sqlite3 execution of both the old and new pattern against the real reporting snapshot on the dedicated server (old pattern: 0 rows; new pattern: full expected row count).
• Both dashboards' own regression tests had baked in the same wrong assumption about Grafana's substitution behavior in their simulation helpers, which is exactly why this shipped undetected — updated those too.

Scope

• Dashboard JSON + regression tests only
• No secrets/wallets/hotkeys/trust-scores/reward values
• No site/, CNAME, **/lovable/**
• No CHANGELOG.md edit

Validation

• npx vitest run test/unit/selfhost-grafana-ai-usage-dashboard.test.ts test/unit/selfhost-grafana-miner-usage-dashboard.test.ts test/unit/ai-usage-index.test.ts — all pass, including real sqlite3-execution assertions against the fixed query text
• Live-verified on the dedicated server: applied the identical change, restarted Grafana, confirmed correct row counts via direct sqlite3 execution against the live reporting snapshot
• git diff --check — clean

Safety

• No secrets in code/comments/tests
• Already verified safe and working in production before opening this PR
