Description

Goals:

Quicker to debug pipeline templates (if Workbench is used to run tests)
Friendlier validation (arv edit fails rudely if JSON syntax is wrong, and doesn't even notice any errors more subtle than that.)

Feature: "Edit components" tab in PipelineTemplate#view (when the current template is writable)

Textarea with components attribute in JSON format
"Save" button
Preview area (probably beside textarea)
"Update" button refreshes preview pane immediately (greyed out and disabled when already up-to-date or JSON is unparseable)
When textarea has changed since last AJAX request was initiated, and no input/click events have happened for (say) 1 second, update the preview pane:
- Cancel any AJAX request in progress
- If the textarea content is not parseable, disable the "Update" button, show an alert (class="alert alert-warning"?) to that effect, and stop
- Grey out the "Update" button and change its text to "Updating..."
- Start AJAX request for preview

Workbench server side

Add ApplicationController#preview method (and route put :preview, on: :member, just for pipeline instances for now) -- much like generic #update, but doesn't save.
Replace pipeline_templates/_show_chooser_preview.html.erb with something useful. It should look decent in this preview window and in the generic chooser / search dialog. (The current preview just defers to show_components and looks pretty bad.)
