Add option to spinup NT4 server and publish the current timeline timestamp's NT info #60

I have my own data viewer that can display live data in a custom format off of NT4. It would be great to use my viewers alongside (and synced with) AdvantageScope. If AdvantageScope pretends to be a robot that is hosting an NT server, then my viewers could connect directly to AdvantageScope instead of the robot to view replays.

https://github.com/Mechanical-Advantage/AdvantageScope/commit/671108b250ecd31a144deadff2b86a47929cae96 adds support for publishing data as an NT client, which can be combined with OutlineViewer as the NT server. Leaving this open for now since allowing for AdvantageScope as the server would also be a useful feature, just more complex as it probably means pulling in ntcore.
