The way the Selection Panel indicates what is current displayed can be improved:

  • The selected thing is often highlighted in blue (because... well... it's selected), which is confusing (looks interactive when it's actually not).
  • The selected thing sometimes appears second instead of first.
  • The styling is inconsistant with the left sidebar.

The top section should be reworked such that:

  • The selected item is always on top.
  • The selected thing should be displayed as a (full width) title bar using ListItem, with all possible context (icon if Space View, note on the nature of the thing, etc.—see figjam).

WIP conceptual proto (misses lots of UI element):

### What

~~Do not merge until after 0.11.~~

This PR reworks the Selection Panel to improve the title ("What is
selected?"), the context ("Where is the selected thing to be found?"),
and the key properties of Space Views (name, origin, type). This is a
first step towards the WIP designs by @martenbjork related to
blueprints.

Changes:
- Full-width, blue title bar consistent with other panel's style and
with the idea that this thing is selected.
- "Context" section listing the place(s) this thing is to be found.
- This is much more consistant across `Item` kinds. Previously, stuff
was displayed all over the place.
- From StreamEntity, it's now it's possible to navigate to any related
SpaceViewEntity _or_ Space Views. Previously, a button confusingly named
after the space view would actually lead to the SpaceViewEntity.
- For Space Views, the Name/Origin/Type are now displayed on top (for
all types of space views).
- This greatly increase the discoverability of the "Name" property.
Previously it was hiding in plain sight in what appeared to be
contextual information.

**Note**: the end-game for context is bread-crumbs like these, but
that's for another day as we're don't yet have an easy way to walk _up_
the hierarchy:
