New strategy panel

A brand new version of the strategy panel has been released. It should address some of the annoyances with the old strategy panel, namely requiring a refresh for every change.

All of the changes are now automatically saved without requiring a page reload, and you will never have to reload the page for any action. Once you make a change, all the values are automatically reloaded without a refresh.
Another change is that both drivers are combined on each lap, which should make it easier to set your strategy.

On the outsides of each driver (on the left and on the right respectively) panel per lap a gray bar can be seen. These are actually 2 bars that represent the driver orders and engine management (in that order). Changing the driver orders will change the color of the bar, and changing the engine management (depending on the value) will also change the color from red to gray to green.

Finally I'm aware that this new panel makes the race screen longer than before, and I'm working on it to improve that. I will be moving some information around and hide the pitstop details by default to save space. But I felt that this update was already worth replacing the old strategy page which was a thorn in my eye. Any other feedback is always welcome in the comments.

Update: I've now made the page more compact by hiding the pitstop details (as described above).
