Release v2.7.0

This release contains a number of new features and improvements

• adds the concept of a 'focused view' and keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out (ctrl or cmd+up/down) and side to side scroll (ctrl or cmd +left/right)

• make bookmark persistent in localstorage so that they are usable across different sessions

• upgrades jbrowse-web and jbrowse-desktop to use React 18 and latest versions of mobx+mobx-react+mobx-state-tree, and enable React.StrictMode

Note: embedded users can also opt-into React 18 for their apps, see lgv storybook for details

See the full changelog below for details!
