Code Quality and UI Enhancements

Implemented a linter setup using tslint and prettier, resolving over 3,000 code quality issues across the codebase. This included configuring build scripts, addressing linting errors, and refactoring components like timeseries-menu and color-map-menu. Added an auto-loaded dataset feature to improve user experience on initial load. Introduced an about dialog box for documentation, and fixed sidenav layout issues to accommodate the auto-loaded dataset.
