Imagine if we could run 1000's of queries nightly in Quepid!!!

Description

This takes the existing Angular1 app and makes a small stripped version that just runs the query and the splainer stuff, and dumps out a text field in the "Snapshot" JSON format. Then, this is exposed by the api /api/agent_q/fetch as the JSON response. Oh, how does the API get the data? Glad you asked friend! The API instantiates Chrome and uses Chrome to invoke the stripped down case! It's like that movie Inception ;-).

Motivation and Context

We have lots of logic in JavaScript and to move it out of there appears to be sissyphean... Leading us down the "big rewrite" path. Let's encapsulate the Angular1 and not expose it to more things.

Let's make it possible to run lots of queries... So if you have 5000 queries, let's run them in batches of 50, and we invoke the browser 100 times. Or batches of 10 and invoke it 500 times!
