small tweaks to settings.js which is used from main.html

to make local ui development experience better

I think it makes sense to align this with changes I've been making to make GH pages work well for:
https://github.com/nearprotocol/near-chess
https://github.com/nearprotocol/near-shell/commits/support-gh-pages

I think we need to agree on how to solve #21, cause otherwise it's very inconvenient to switch between local / shared devnet.

re GH pages - settings.js looks pretty much identical except for setting the fiddle cookie. Can we actually change that? I don't want the real app code to say "fiddle" anywhere. Why can't we just read the values from the settings.js directly and bypass fiddle config?

#21 - switching between envs is just passing node url at this point. I do not think that improving this is higher priority than key management, so will not work on it right now.

I agree we shouldn't use cookie, that's just hack to make stuff work quickly.

I'm thinking that it makes sense to change it as part of doing #21, so that e.g. we have few .json config files (one per environment).

Cool! This MR is going in that direction by adding 2 settings files. You still need to specify which one to use manually, but this is something that can be iterated on.

@janedegtiareva hmm, seems like typo
