In IGV graphs can be opened in several tabs and then display them side-by-side. Previously, when the user selected nodes in tab A the selection was also applied in tab B. 

We now introduce a new global button to link and unlink the selection of different tabs.
![link_button](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71546117/201961318-e1263f6c-b3e9-41d5-a1f1-5493d5294bb5.png)

If the button is **pressed**, the selection is **linked** globally across tabs:

If the button is **not pressed**, the selection is **not linked** across tabs. This is the default setting:
![unlinked](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/71546117/201961012-f531e7b9-1f23-4584-b207-02529ae25d5a.png)

# Implementation
The `SelectionCoordinator` is responsible to update the other tabs when the selection changes. We simply disable the `SelectionCoordinator` when the link button is not pressed, and enable it otherwise.
