New web frontend

[mcserep]

The design concept of the current web frontend is considered outdated in some terms. The task is to completly redesign and implement a new web frontend for CodeCompass from scratch. Technologies and libraries to use:

• React
• Material Design

The new frontend shall use the existing RPC-based Thrift backend and its provided features of CodeCompass.

The new frontend is currently in development here.

So far, the following features were implemented:

• Switching between workspaces
• Viewing files in the file manager and file contents in the editor
• Searching and displaying search results
• Generating metrics and diagrams for files/directories

Let me know if there are any problems, or if the design should be different.

@mdeme01 If you think that your development is ready for a first round of review, please open a pull request. It is easier to review the code that way and leave remarks.

You can still push new commits to your branch of course and the PR will auto-update.

Pull request is ready here.
