As a user viewing simularium data, it would be nice to have my data encoded as binary so that it streams and loads faster and packs into a smaller file.
Acceptance criteria
simulariumio can write either binary or JSON files (binary by default)
Viewer can load binary or JSON files, either locally, from URL, or with streaming examples
Details
The backend should also stream binary in the updated format, but we will wait to update binary streaming in the new Python implementation (octopus) rather than updating the current C++ engine.
