Share this view issues and improvments #230

Based on discussion with @pkgw @aagoodman @patudom

There are multiple issues with the "share this view" feature not including all the relevant information or not initializing the web client correctly. The potentially most pressing of these for Apollo 50 are fact that links to panoramas show in sky mode (http://worldwidetelescope.org/webclient/#/ra=19.79452&dec=13.73863&fov=60.00000&lookAt=Panorama&imagery=Apollo_12:_Landing_Site) and the fact that these links lack datetime information for the view. Currently, links with tracked bodies in solar system mode fly-in which might not be desired behavior.

A full audit and implementation of this feature needs to be done, but isn't as pressing as the above.
