Let users save notebooks (and maybe data) to home dir to come back to later? #216

Now that we have a msd-live login (but currently only used for non-public dataset notebooks) we could add the ability for users to save notebooks and data to come back at a later time to revisit. Instead of letting jupyter hub generate the username we would just use their msd-live username as the home folder dir's name in efs. Issue to discuss:

  1. do we want to pay to store this indefinitely? Especially if the user copied a bunch of data to their home folder.
  2. If no to indefinitely, but we want to make sure this isn't costly do we put a quota on the size of the user's home dir, or a timer before it's automatically wiped, or both?
  3. the efs drive is shared accross all notebooks, so would have to do some organizing of home dirs somehow so users don't get confused if seeing a notebook related to dataset A when viewing dataset B's notebook/data.
