Views Web UI

[adityamukho]

Note: This PR is large, since during development of this feature, a lot of UI components that were common to both Analyzers and Views were created/updated. Unfortunately, this led to unavoidable changes to several files in the Analyzers Web UI section, that otherwise have no functional bearing on this feature.

The functionality of the Analyzers UI should remain unaffected, since from the perspective of that section, this PR only introduces functionally invariant code refactors.

Scope & Purpose

This PR enhances the 'Views' section of the AARDVARK UI for ArangoDB, making it feature-complete, i.e. every field/property of an ArangoSearch View can now be configured through forms in the UI, in addition to the already existing method of editing the raw JSON representation. This includes the ability to configure View Links, with full support for their nested/recursive structures. Additionally, the JSON form has been improved with a schema validator, which informs the user of any errors in their JSON input.
