Epic: Data Explorer "headless" mode using duckdb-wasm for looking at CSV, Parquet, other data files #2187

A few weeks ago I was able to set up duckdb-wasm and load it within Zed in https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/tree/feature/zed-duckdb

I'll use that as the starting point for implementing the data viewer features, and then later we can work on elevating this into the main application and adding file associations with Parquet and CSV files to get the "double click to view" experience
