Custom label: Percentile rank X of "field" fully customizable

[pvgoddijn]

When creating a visualization of type "Percentile" or "Percentile rank" in a data table the label becomes:
Percentile rank [value] of "[custom label]"
or
Percentile [percentage] of "[custom label]"

These labels are very long and clutter the table a lot, especialy with many bucket.

What I like to see would be the ability to add a 'custom prefix label for these metrics.
Something like:

customlabel = "requests"
customprefixlabel = "custom"
resulting label percentile --> "25th custom of request"
resulting label percentile ranks --> "custom 200 of request"

I think this would be a good improvement, but the only thing that would worry me with this is that it will continue to clutter the UI, adding yet another option to the editor. Let's get a second opinion on this: @timroes @ppisljar you would be having a community PR to add this option to the configs?

[ppisljar]

how would you specify the prefix (for percentiles for example) ?

one for every percentile ? (might really be a bit to much for ui)

or a general for all of them ? would it make sense to override it in general at all ? if so, wouldn't you then need to access the actual percentile value ?

It is possible in Lens to customize your percentiles label
