Changed Prometheus interval-alignment to cover whole panel range

* the existing query date alignment shifts the range forward to match
a multiple epoch of the interval, but keeps the range length the same,
the result is that the start date is shifted forward as well, leaving a
gap in the graph (or a zero-line when null-as-zero was set, issue #12024)
* this pr extends the aligned range to cover the original start date as
well
