[FR] Allow to NOT render semantic segmentation labels

[cgebbe]

Given a dataset with semantic segmentation labels, can I configure the app to NOT render them?

I realize that I can toggle their visibility on and off, but it seems to me that they get loaded independent of that, thus slowing down rendering.

@cgebbe yep, in fact we're building this right now! 😄

Specifically our plan is:

• "dense" label fields (segmentations, heatmaps, etc) will only be loaded if their visibility toggle is "on"
• dense label field rendering is in a separate worker so that the rest of the grid can still be as buttery as possible even if dense labels (when visible) take longer to appear
• (TBD) dense label fields are not toggled to visible by default
• you can optionally configure what fields are visible by default via dataset.app_config
