One Semantic Model for all reports

Discussed in https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/discussions/1903

The FinOps Toolkit currently offers 6 reports with those reservations:

So if I deploy all 6 reports I will have also 6 Semantic Models.

wouldn't be better if we can have 1 Semantic Model for all?

SOLUTION:

1. We add one report called FinOps Semantic Model and we publish that with zero dashboards on it --> now we have the Semantic Model online
2. When we open one of the 6 reports instead of prompting to enter the KQL URL the Power BI report should ask for a Power BI semantic model

This means that we only have to maintain 1 Semantic model and 1 refresh

Review Discussion 1903 and the six-report/data-source table first. Define the scope and acceptance criteria for sharing one Power BI semantic model and one refresh across the reports, including how the proposed model report and KQL prompt change should work.
