Motivation for features / changes
This update to the new Angular Materials is a mandate from Angular. Furthermore this RangeInputComponent was kind a a mess with lots of somewhat hacky custom code. The new mat-slider handles all of that for us so this is also a big cleanup.
Technical description of changes
The RangeInputComponent is no longer used for single selection purposes so I removed that option. I also replaced the custom slider with a mat-slider and removed lots of tests that had to do without custom slider implementation.
Screenshots of UI changes (or N/A)
Alternate designs / implementations considered (or N/A)
I considered implementing this in the FilterDialog and the RunsTable and then deleting the RangeInputComponent entirely.
