Addresses #1942

Closes #1942

The current documentation is misleading with respect to using Grafana with InfluxQL with Influx2.0. This change seeks to correct this.

You do not need basic authentication, you need only add a custom HTTP header with your token.

See:
#1942
grafana/grafana#29372

Thanks for this @BojanOro. Sorry for the slow review. Just some minor changes requested.

It seems the credentials in bullet 4 may also be unnecessary:

Priority indeed since Influx just updated all of our Docker containers to 2.0 without warning. Cue mass grafana breakage.

@diamondsw Sorry for lack of content. I'm working on updating the Grafana docs today and will ping you when they're live.

Apologies for the huge delay, this got dropped and I forgot entirely about this until I started getting emails about comments 😬 . Let me know if the docs make sense now!
