The thumbnail view is overloaded and confusing, especially for multiple tracks. This patch implements the design proposed in opencast#1624 to help with that. This is mostly just a major restyling, so no important functionality should be lost.

Fixes #1624. Hopefully also resolves #1282, #1207 as a side effect.

@ltekbas I probably did not manage to implement your vision 100%. Feel free to criticize anything and everything.
The screen you see when clicking on "Thumbnail" in the main menu:
The screen you see when clicking on "Generate from frame":
Simple mode is also still around. It skips the thumbnail selection and displays the view where you can generate thumbnails directly, with some extra buttons from the selection screen.
How to test this
Can be tested by installing the PR, no backend changes required. Don't forget to enable thumbnail view in the settings toml or by adding the query parameter
thumbnail.show=true. While these are mostly design changes, make sure everything still functions as well.For simple mode, toggle it on via
thumbnail.simpleMode=trueor in the config. You will also have to configurethumbnail.priority.flavorinetc/org.opencastproject.editor.EditorServiceImpl.cfgin the backend.
