Add pods page to the Kubernetes dashboard - preparation
What does this MR do and why?
In order to keep the iterations small, this MR introduces some preparation work:
- create a view for the dashboard#show action
- create a Vue router
- add pods page (with no custom data for now)
- add common components - page title and the agent area.

Note that the shared agents should be connected to the cluster in order to appear in the list. Please follow points 3-8 from the guide and then the (Optional) Deploy the GitLab Agent (agentk) with k3d section to create a local cluster and connect your agent with the cluster.
