Support Grafana 'timeseries' panel type for analyse grafana. (#224)

* Support Grafana 'timeseries' panel type for `analyse grafana`.

This adds a workaround to parse the 'targets' out of a panel with type
'timeseries', not currently supported upstream. It also improves the
error handling when an unknown panel type is encountered.

When the functionality is merged upstream, this change can be removed.

* Review comments.
