Add a 'View' button for Airflow Variables in the UI

[SangwanP]

Description

A 'view' (eye) button is added to the Airflow Variables in the UI. This button shall open the selected Variable for viewing (but not for editing), with the actual json formatting, in either a new page or a modal view.

Use case/motivation

I store variables in the json format, most of them have > 15 attributes. To view the content of the variables, I either have to open the Variable in editing mode, which I find dangerous since there is a chance I (or another user) accidentally delete information; or I have to copy the variable as displayed in the Airflow Variables page list and then pass it through a json formatter to get the correct indentation. I would like to have a way to (safely) view the variable in it's original format.

Yes, a way to see variables without editing them sounds like a good idea.
