AzureMonitor: Improve handling of unsupported template variable cases in URIs (#52054)

* Set error message for certain template variable combinations

- Make use of setError method from query editor
- Update Azure Monitor error type
- Add test for case 2 from https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/51331

* Update template variable docs

* Fix lint issues

* Update docs/sources/datasources/azuremonitor/template-variables.md

+## Limitations
+
+As of Grafana 9.0, a resource URI is constructed to identify resources using the resource picker. On dashboards created prior to Grafana 9.0, Grafana automatically migrates any queries using the prior resource-picking mechanism to use this method.
+
+Some resource types use nested namespaces and resource names, such as `Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/tableServices` and `storageAccount/default`, or `Microsoft.Sql/servers/databases` and `serverName/databaseName`. Such template variables cannot be used because the result could be a malformed resource URI.
+
+### Supported cases
+
+#### Standard namespaces and resource names
+
+```kusto
+metricDefinition = $ns
+$ns = Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines
+resourceName = $rs
+$rs = testvirtualmachine
+```
+
+#### Namespaces with a non-templated sub-namespace
+
+```kusto
+metricDefinition = $ns/tableServices
+$ns = Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
+resourceName = $rs/default
+$rs = storageaccount
+```
+
+#### Storage namespaces missing the `default` keyword
+
+```kusto
+metricDefinition = $ns/tableServices
+$ns = Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
+resourceName = $rs
+$rs = storageaccount
+```
+
+#### Namespaces with a templated sub-namespace
+
+```kusto
+metricDefinition = $ns/$sns
+$ns = Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
+$sns = tableServices
+resourceName = $rs
+$rs = storageaccount
+```
+
+### Unsupported case
+
+If a dashboard uses this unsupported case, migrate it to one of the [supported cases](#supported-cases).
+
+If a namespace or resource name template variable contains multiple segments, Grafana will construct the resource URI incorrectly because the template variable cannot be appropriately split.
+
+For example:
+
+```kusto
+metricDefinition = $ns
+resourceName = $rs
+$ns = 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/tableServices'
+$rs = 'storageaccount/default'
+```
+
+This would result in an incorrect resource URI containing `Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/tableServices/storageaccount/default`. However, the correct URI would have the format `Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/storageaccount/tableServices/default`.
+
+An appropriate fix would be to update the template variable that does not match a supported case. If the namespace variable `$ns` is of the form `Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/tableServices` this could be split into two variables: `$ns1 = Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts` and `$ns2 = tableServices`. The metric definition would then take the form `$ns1/$ns2` which leads to a correctly formatted URI.
