Can't select peptide sequences #86

Currently, each letter is a distinct SVG element, which makes highlighting go insane. Would like to be able to copy peptides (and substrings of peptides).

(For posterity, Alex and I already discussed) this is tricky with the way we're using SVG. It is possible to select text, it's just very tricky.

Possible fix would be rendering just plain text on top of the sequence (which is a bunch of <text>s, each with its own number) and setting opacity: 0 on it. This may not be the best for performance.
