    feat(web): allow using `sql-studio` as DB browser · e7e9c60d
    Jamie Tanna authored and Jamie Tanna's avatar Jamie Tanna committed
    
    
    SQL Studio is an excellent new SQLite browser written in Rust, which has
    a nice interface, some interesting out-of-the-box visualisations for the
    database, support for a number of other platforms, as well as being
    built as a single static binary.
    
    As a static binary, this simplifies the ability to deploy `dmd-web` with
    a more batteries-included SQLite browser than the embedded one.
    
    SQL Studio is built with a Javascript heavy frontend, whereas the
    embedded browser and Datasette have very little Javascript, so can be
    run as server-side applications, so this may not be applicable for
    everyone.
    
    We shouldn't make this mutually exclusive with Datasette, as it may be
    useful to run both - for instance on the demo site.
    
    We should provide a fallback page when the SQL studio URLs aren't wired
    in, especially in cases that the application was once enabled with SQL
    Studio and then it was disabled.
    
    This requires a minimum of `sql-studio` v0.1.17.
    
    By providing the `--base-path` argument, client-side requests (i.e. to
    the API endpoint) will go through the "public facing" URL i.e. how
    dependency-management-data's `/sql-studio` path. The base application is
    not served from that location, so we need to make sure we use the
    `Director` functionality to rewrite the request URL to strip that
    prefix.

    Closes #588.
