Fix for Issue #250: Dashboard does not reflect changes to node over time

[AileenCleary]

PR Info

Fix for Issue #250.

Dashboard NodeModal was slow to update changes in node information or actions. Page was stale and needed to be manually refreshed or opened and closed, and the refresh time default was 01:00 minutes.

Changes

1. Reduce node_info_update_interval default from 60.0 to 30.0.

By decreasing the default value of node_info_update_interval, the workcell will more frequently query node information, therefore detecting any changes made and updating the dashboard.

2. Fix the UI by having NodeModal use computed property over modal_text.

Currently, NodeModal uses props.modal_text to feed into NodeInfoTab and NodeActionsTab, which is a snapshot that is only captured once when the modal is opened. Thus, even if wc_state updates later with new node information, modal_text will not change. Instead, we now use a computed property current_node_info that reads directly from wc_state.nodes[modal_title].info. Because wc_state is reactive, current_node_info will automatically update when the workcell manager pushes new node information into the workcell state.
