fix(explore): stop dashboard permalink key from leaking into chart URL

RESERVED_CHART_URL_PARAMS was missing permalink_key while the analogous
RESERVED_DASHBOARD_URL_PARAMS already excluded it. This asymmetry let a
dashboard permalink's permalink_key, merged into a chart's form_data via
a shared cache keyed only by sliceId, get copied into the chart's own
Explore URL when opened from a dashboard. On refresh, Explore forwarded
that dashboard-salted key to the explore permalink resolver, which fails
key decoding against the wrong salt and falls back to a stub datasource,
producing the "missing datasource" error.

Add permalink_key to RESERVED_CHART_URL_PARAMS, mirroring the pattern
already used correctly on the dashboard side and in FilterBar's
EXCLUDED_URL_PARAMS. As an accepted side effect, this also makes
Explore's own permalink key (/explore/p/<key>/) drop out of the URL
after refresh instead of staying sticky, matching FilterBar's existing
behavior for dashboards.
