Avoid downloading data to Switchboard server #138

Currently Switchboard creates a local copy of the data and sends a url of it to the tools, to avoid possible CORS problems (see https://github.com/clarin-eric/switchboard/issues/2).

If we can solve the CORS issues (can we?), we should profile the data using a small header (should work with most data types) and send the original url to the tools.

Proxying could be an alternative to downloading
