Description
This PR introduces 2 concepts into the incubating React app:
Entity
Interface: Defines a set of methods implemented by every top-level UI entity shown in the UI (Dataset, CorpUser, etc). These methods are used to signal which features are enabled for a particular entity (browse, search) as well as providing functions for rendering views across feature verticals. (Examples:DatasetEntity
,UserEntity
)EntityRegistry
: A singleton class provided via React Context to all components which serves as the source of truth for instances of theEntity
interface.(Also included some minor refactorings)

Notes
As the app is still in active incubation, this architecture is subject to change.
