Remove the Vizarr display

[lubianat]

Reverting #483 while a robust fix for #507 is not found. It is really not great to show a broken viewer in the first part of the website (sorry for that!).

The fix on #509 is only partial; it also fails for some mobile devices (as noted in #507).

@will-moore would you mind sharing your thoughts on this quickly?

I have tried to reproduce the bug with all the options on #507 but have so far failed (Chrome Version 147.0.7727.102 on Mac). So it's tricky for me to understand where this bug is coming from.
If I change my page zoom then I sometimes see the image disappear (moves out of the viewport) but I think this is because the current viewport position (maintained in the iframe vizarr url) no-longer is suitable for the resized viewer. This is always fixed for me with a page refresh.
It's not clear to me how the bug demos on #507 would be affected by a page refresh after zooming/resizing the page? I guess the original bug report was not due to a page resize/zoom.

My feeling would be that while it's of course problematic that it doesn't work on mobile devices, it's kind of not that bad as long as it displays on other devices?

@will-moore there are two bugs detected:

• One desktop issue with Chrome and particular Zoom levels, fixed on https://github.com/BioNGFF/vizarr. It led not only to the image disappearing, but to the canvas "twitching". I could reproduce on multiple pages embedding the hms Vizarr page.

• One issue on a few mobile devices, which affects at least my device.

As the issue occurs also when going to Vizarr and, say, the new BIA website (ping @matthewh-ebi), I would remove the image from the main page as a hotfix while things are not solved on the Vizarr side.

Supportive of @lubianat's comment this morning that he won't be able to drive this. Removing for the moment, but very supportive if/when someone else wants to take on the investigation and/or assert that it's been fixed upstream. Thanks!

Interesting...I still the viewer on the landing page?

Apparently there was some unknown issue with the RTD build, though the preview (https://ngff--511.org.readthedocs.build/) worked fine.

I wonder if the build can just be re-triggered on RTD
