minimize calls to firebase for job status data

[ascibisz]

Problem

When I was doing firebase cleanup, I went through our firebase utility functions to make sure we didn't have any dead code around that wasn't being used and if we had any redundant calls. I found a bit of each. This PR is to eliminate that for code clarity and performance.

Solution

• Delete firebase functions and types that aren't being referenced anywhere
• Minimize queries to the job_status firebase collection.
  • We query this periodically while the cellpack job is running in AWS ECS to check the status, and then when we see that it's done, we have 3 additional queries: 1 to get the error logs, 1 to get the results path, and 1 to get the output directory path.
  • These are all just different fields saved in the same entry in the job_status collection! We can eliminate these 3 additional queries by just holding on to the whole job status object in the first place, instead of just keeping the value of a single field from each call.
  • One caveat: output directory path may not have been updated at the time of job completion if uploading is taking too long. So we handle that case by doing a check when the user selects "download results" and if needed, we can do an additional firebase query at that time to get the outputs directory. This is in the same place where we were always querying firebase for the outputs directory before

Pull Request Overview

This PR optimizes Firebase usage by eliminating redundant queries and removing unused code. Instead of making separate queries for job status, error logs, results path, and output directory, the code now retrieves the complete job status object once and extracts all needed fields from it.

• Consolidates multiple Firebase queries into a single query for job status data
• Removes unused Firebase utility functions and types
• Updates components to use the consolidated job status object
