We should write an importer script

[matthewmrichter]

What you expected to happen?

It would be possible to build an importer for converting JSON model dashboards to Grafanalib format, at the same time removing default values to provide more succinct dashboard config as code.

Not a trivial project but it could have some value for organizations/users with a large footprint of Grafana dashboards.

We would want to ensure grafanalib is fully caught up to the dashboard objects in a particular Grafana version before embarking on this.

I think #75 was an effort in the same direction. It might be useful at some point.
