allow disabling netdata monitoring section of the dashboard (#13788)

* allow disabling netdata monitoring section of the dashboard

* disable-netdata-stats: Modify eBPF.plugin to disable statistic charts according user selection, by default it is enabled

* Don't send internal statistics for exporting engine if it's disabled.

* Fix global statistics flag initialization

* Don't send internal statistics for checks plugin if it's disabled.
