Description
Discussion here: https://redpandadata.slack.com/archives/C02JDTMG8GN/p1703184448433599
tl;dr: Today we have a "Partition Balance" graph that provides a percentage-based view of how balanced the partitions are on the cluster.
The intention of this graph is to show a red/yellow/green view of how balanced the partition writes are, not how balanced the partitions are across the cluster (e.g., the spread of partition counts on each broker).
We should update the title and add a description to clarify this.
If we don't already have it, we should probably also have a separate metric pointing to the partition count spread.

Research direction
Start by locating the Partition Balance visualization and review the linked Slack discussion for the intended wording. Done means the title and description clearly identify partition-write balance rather than broker partition-count spread, with the need for a separate partition-count metric resolved.
