Description

__Steps to reproduce:__
1. Click "create configuration" to create telegraf configuration
2. Click `system`
3. Click `disk` (intending to not monitor the disk)
4. Realize you can't unselect the disk plugin and try to back out:
a. `Done` seems like "finish configuring the plugin"
b. Corner `X` seems like it would take me back to the "Configure Plugins" page.

__Environment info:__
