implement a new jupyter slideshow mode for cocalc-jupyter notebooks #5311

This ticket illustrates some issues/frustrations with using nbconvert-based slideshows: https://github.com/jupyter/nbviewer/issues/533

Probably the only good longterm solution to this is for us to re-implement from scratch something like RISE in CoCalc, because then at least it will be easy to adjust the font size. This can also provide for interactive evaluation of code during the presentation. We should do this in a way that is as compatible with RISE as possible.

Here are the docs for RISE -- https://rise.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

I wonder how much work it would be to just reimplement this in cocalc? Or is there something else that is even better that we should create? I don't know.

For something new from scratch, I think something based around the new whiteboard would be very interesting.
