Should somebody be able to create a LES without being signed in. Much like at ETModel. #1519

I was just wondering if that can be possible. 🤔 A bit in the same fashion like ETModel. Where you can play around but can't save anything?

ETModel gets away with this because almost everything is stored on ETEngine. It keeps track of the scenario ID and which page you had open – in case you come back later – but everything is stored in a session as a couple of strings and integers and that's it. In Moses we have testing grounds and topologies, market models and business cases, and, and...

I like the idea but think that it might be deceptively complicated. I guess that we'd have to save the guest's LES as belonging to the "orphan" user, and then set something in their session to permit the visitor to make changes?

Since the ETM/Moses merger will probably have this in some form, I wonder if the reward is worth the effort to do it for Moses?
