This pull request adds a new workflow called neuroglancer-nb.

resolves #86

Neuroglancer by Google is a WebGL-based viewer for volumetric data. It is capable of displaying arbitrary (non axis-aligned) cross-sectional views of volumetric data, as well as 3-D meshes and line-segment based models (skeletons). It is commonly used to display massive datasets from electron microscopy in the field of neuroscience.

Although neuroglancer provides a powerful browser-based tool for exploring very large volumes, it only provides a standalone application. However, researchers often utilize Jupyter Notebook to conduct reproducible research and encapsulate visualizations alongside code and text. Using Panel, we can provide access to the neuroglancer interface within the context of a research notebook.
