Dynamic data source selection

[SorooshMani-NOAA]

Right now the dataset name is hardcoded into the entrypoint of Thalassa and when the server starts, the data source cannot be modified.

The interactive dataset selection will make Thalassa much more useful. The ideal solution would have the user select dataset/file once and then uses that dataset to render plots/visualizations in every app (e.g. Elevation, Mesh, etc.).

In case this is too huge a step to take, one approach to get started is to have dataset selector within each app; for example, the user goes to Mesh app and at the top there's a "Combobox" or "File browser" to indicate what dataset to use, then after user selects a dataset/file, the content of the page refreshes with the new info.

I'm not sure how data persistence works between different apps within Panel's server. We need to explore whether there's any cookie mechanism to use or if we need to write unique data per user to the disk to persist data when moving between apps.

I believe that v0.2 addressed this issue.
