T13279: Build Charting for Facts

rPc4e4448ee649: Add chart functions "x()" and "constant(3)"

Summary

Depends on D20442. Ref T13279. Add basic support for drawing chart functions that are not based on Facts first-party ETL datasets. Some general goals:

This might be useful to draw a line like "goal" or "profitability".
This might be useful to pull data from an external source.
For composable functions like "add" or "subtract", which are useful in manipulating ETL datasets, these value functions will make testing easier.

Test Plan

Added a constant(256) function:

src/applications/fact/chart/PhabricatorConstantChartFunction.php
31	Not sure how I feel about passing `$limit` here. Won't every chart function basically copy/paste the rest of the code in this function?
33–34	Also it's not obvious to me why `$limit` gets passed as an argument but the axis is an instance variable on this object.
src/applications/fact/controller/PhabricatorFactChartController.php
24	This is setting the default argument to 256, right? I was looking for some reason why this to be a power of 2, maybe pick a different constant like 42?

33–34	Yeah, this changes in the ~next diff.
src/applications/fact/controller/PhabricatorFactChartController.php
24	This is just drawing a visible line on the "demo" chart. 256 just happened to produce a reasonable line in the middle of the data on my local instance.
