Research if we can put the rendering visualization bytes logic from clientside to backend #676

Currently, all the fall back logic if visualization data is not present is in client side (frontend). The code is a bit messy. Check if we can put that to a backend endpoint.

visconfg can have parameters, but does NOT need to have vis data.
for some components (e.g. thumbnail) we don't care where the bytes come from, either visData or raw bytes. so we want an endpoint to get the bytes for a given component - the backend can return from either.
