Provide an API to enable ezEML to fire up DeX on a particular data table #74

Provide an API to enable ezEML to fire up DeX on a particular data table.

ezEML has a Check Data Tables page where individual tables in a package are displayed with links to check the table. It would be awesome to also have a link/button for each table to Explore the Data that would open DeX on the table in a new tab.

DeX will expose an interface where links to EML and CSV elements can be submitted for opening in a browser. Since these objects are works in progress, we'll want to clear caches for them if resubmitted.

...or don't cache at all if the referrer is ezEML.

ezEML caches the results of Check Data Table and clears the cached results for a table when the table's metadata changes or the table is re-uploaded. I.e., ezEML keeps track of whether the cached results can be trusted. So, ezEML could, in its call to the DeX API, indicate whether DeX can use a previously cached result if it has one.
