Applet command local storage

ARTIQ Feature Request

Problem this request addresses

Currently, in artiq_dashboard it is convenient to use an applet to observe the experiment outcomes as number figures or plots. However, as the experiment scale and complexity grow, the number of applet commands increases as well. Since the applets displayed on artiq_dashboard are essentially command lines, one needs to type all the applet commands one by one when copying applets from one computer to another, which is troublesome and painful.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be beneficial if the applet command lines could also be stored in a local file, like the dataset_db.pyon file for datasets. Thus one can easily copy the entire applets from one computer to another. Adding a local storage file for applets also enables the git version control of applet commands.

What about creating applets using CCB in experiments?

[zhangzj2018]

I am sorry, but I do not understand what CCB is, or how to use it to create applets. Could you provide more details?
