Shareable Links and Channel Settings Redesign

As a user, I would like to be able to send a link to my colleague so they can see the same data in the same view that I have set up.
I would like to have a json file format to save viewer settings so that I can later edit (both by hand and with scripts) and copy such files and reload them into the viewer.

• Shareable links #107
• shareable links ux design #171

Channel settings redesign, reset button, optimization, and misc.

• react lifecycle takes significant time during T playback #191
• 3d time playback performance is so much better with maxAtlasEdge=2048 #259
• Documentation #120 -> deferred to next milestone
• Tighten up design of channel settings #80
• idea for redoing the transfer function editor #131
• need a "reset to defaults" button #174 -> initial attempt done but needs UX feedback, non-blocking for this milestone
• pure 2d image can not display in xy mode? #263
• Time slider does not update on playback #264
• time in minutes should automatically change to hours/days #265
• Moving a control point causes other control point to jump #281

Optional:

• Consider bringing max texture atlas size down to 2048 for speed #285

New issues to add:

• Refactor App to functional component, to get the state discipline benefits of useEffect and useReducer hooks
• Refactor App props to use load specification (similar/identical? to volume-viewer's LoadSpec type)

• Include channel settings updates from Milestone 4 optional section?
