Initial myVariants implementation: a form on hgTracks where users can enter item details in one of three ways: hgvs/item search, simple bed form, advanced bed form where additional non-bed fields can dynamically created. Allows changing the color of items, writing descriptions, and editing the items after creation. Show overlaps with hardcoded tracks when hgc page is open (not in the hgc dialog). Next commit has implementation of sharing these tracks with other users
