Currently the UI is cached in the browser. As a user, I found this
confusing when I first tried to access the UI, and I wasn't crazy about
the solution given to turn off caching in the browser.
This commit adds a random query string that is added to any of the
image/svg files when a tab is opened. This "tricks" the browser into
making a new call for the image, but doesn't affect the actual image
retrieval. The call now looks like:
http://localhost:8000/temp_chart.svg?3856680481
where 3856680481 is a randomly generated number that will differ
on each call.
This way the image always stays updated on a browser refresh
and simplifies the process of installing the software by no longer
needing to turn browser caching off.
