Refactor table-of-contents view #6851
Description
The table-of-contents (TOC) view currently has the following drawbacks:
- non-intuitive: Wider screens show it next to the content, smaller screens hide it but show a button at the bottom
- very basic design: The 1.x version had more aesthetic appeal, we should improve this
- less features: In 1.x it tracks the scroll position and highlights the section where you are currently, this should be re-added
The floating TOC button at the bottom should be removed. The dynamic TOC display next to the content should be removed.
There should be a new button in the editor-bar that toggles the TOC aside of the content, regardless of the screen size.
Since the read-only-view (/s/:noteId) has no editor-bar, the TOC aside of the content should be shown there always.

Hi @ErikMichelson, I'd like to work on this issue. My plan is to add the editor-bar toggle, highlight the current section while scrolling, and keep the TOC visible in the read-only view, with regression tests for the new behavior.
Is this available to pick up, or are you already working on it? If available, I expect to submit a PR within 2–3 weeks. Please let me know if you have any architectural or UX preferences I should follow.
