Representing the value of a resource #412

Current behavior

Users cannot see the value of a resource if it isn't a geo-spatial Dataset or DataFrame. In the latter case they can display an image on the map or display a plot.

Expected behavior

Some representation of the resource value should be available for all resource types.

Specifications

Implementation Ideas:

In the Workflow or Resources tab of the WORKSPACE panel, the resource value could be displayed as follows:

for a xarray.Dataset we show properties (shape, dims) or the str(res) value
for a pandas.DataFrame we show properties (columns, #rows) or the str(res) value
for simple types, we just show the simple value, e.g. str(res) in a large (2em) font.

There could also be a (non-closable) view, that lists all steps and the output values in one big table with multi-line cells.
