Closes #92
To restore the state of a previous query, just drag your previously downloaded results file over the browser and drop it anywhere in the side panel. The frontend then parses the URI values in the file and reconstructs the state of the app that would have generated those URIs.
There is very little validation of the inputs or error handling in general. However the idea is to drop this feature in in a way that no one is likely to notice so as not to cause confusion. At least at first. Only data request reviewers will know about this feature for now.
