**Rationale:**
This made it harder to snoop on the traffic in the network monitor because it was encoded as a string.
**Changes:**
- Backend now accepts & provides the panel data as a JSON object rather than as a string
- Backend now supports compression
- Minor improvements to error handling
- Some panel structures were getting saved in the JSON when they weren't supposed to be (now this no longer happens)

**Rationale:**
Having two separate servers and communication methods resulted in additional maintenance & the need to convert often between backend & frontend data types.
By moving the backend communication off of gRPC and to just use websockets it both gives more control & allows for simplification of the implementation.
