Restructure sidebar

We want to improve the functionality of the sidebar. For this to work we should only use a modal if it's absolutely necessary.

The following modal should work something like the note details:

HI, I would love to contribute to this project, can you assign me to this issue?

Hi @LukasCec! Thanks for your interest in contributing to HedgeDoc.

We'd recommend getting familiar with the codebase before with some smaller open issues.
Especially the issues tagged under "Design improvements" are not open to take currently, since we have some additional context for that.

For the revisions entry we could do the following:

Render only the revision items as a metadata list in the sidebar
Have sticky buttons at the top of the sidebar when one entry is selected: "Back to live" and "Restore to this point"
When selecting one entry: Disconnect the WebSocket, replace the editor with a diff view, set the markdown content for the renderer to the revision version, show a warning in the app-bar that you're not on the live version
Adapt the URL to allow deep-linking to single revisions /n/alias@revision-UUID
