DatadogDashboard - add configurable DD_DASHBOARD_FORCE_SYNC_PERIOD environment variable

[orkhanM]

Problem

DatadogDashboard controller has a hardcoded 60-minute force sync period, unlike DatadogMonitor which supports DD_MONITOR_FORCE_SYNC_PERIOD. This means dashboard drift from manual UI changes can persist for up to 60 minutes.

Proposed Solution

Add DD_DASHBOARD_FORCE_SYNC_PERIOD environment variable to configure dashboard sync frequency, similar to the existing DatadogMonitor implementation.

Hi @orkhanM! I'd like to work on this issue. I can implement the DD_DASHBOARD_FORCE_SYNC_PERIOD environment variable following the same pattern as DD_MONITOR_FORCE_SYNC_PERIOD in the DatadogMonitor controller.

Would you be okay if I take this on? I'll:

1. Add the environment variable constant
2. Update the controller to read and use the configurable sync period
3. Add appropriate documentation

Let me know if this sounds good to you!

@puretension that's fine by me, thanks!
