Implement view settings <-> JSURL integration

[JobLeonard]

We can now link directly to a view in a dataset. However, this does not include the view settings of said dataset.

Implementing this could be somewhat tricky, because these settings currently reside in the various redux states (landscapeState, genescapeState, etc) and are changed through dispatches (SET_LANDSCAPE_PROPS, etc).

I need to figure out how to untangle and rewire that to use the browser history, and whether or not this will completely replace that or complement the existing system. We're using react-router-redux, so essentially are already tied to redux for our browser history anyway.

My current thoughts are moving all of this state into the browser URL - otherwise we'd split responsibility for view states between redux store and URL bar, and that's asking for bugs related to these states being out of sync or otherwise in conflict.

However, how to translate the current dispatch/reducer set-up to pushing to and listening to browser-urls is not immediately obvious, although there should be a straightforward translation of one concept to the other. Something for me to ponder over the weekend and get working next week, hopefully :).

Relevant documentation:

• JSURL: https://github.com/Sage/jsurl
• Updating browser history directly from JS in react-router: https://github.com/reactjs/react-router/blob/master/docs/guides/NavigatingOutsideOfComponents.md

I've made quite a lot of progress on this one today - in fact, the only thing not working properly is the fetching of genes when coming to a fresh page! Also, heatmap needs to remember its coordinates; right now it resets every time you view it.

[JobLeonard]

Gene fetching is fixed! This is ridiculously satisfying :)

All that's left now is saving the zoom/center-of-map state of the heatmap and we're done.

DONE! WOO!

Oh, and for good measure I also implemented this totally unrelated feature: Order by multiple keys in Sparkline view

BTW Sten, I have to delegate deploying this version to you again - after the conference (or maybe in a boring moment during, although I suspect you'll be busy) we should sit down and figure out why my laptop refuses to deploy.

Ok, I deployed now. The wifi here is flaky but I think it got through.
