update server communication protocol to poll firebase for job status

Problem

We changed some things on the server side, so here are the corresponding changes on the client side!

Solution

• The Server PR talks in detail about the communication protocol changes, but here's the quick summary. Currently, the client sends a single request to the server to run a packing, and does not get a response until that packing is either done or failed. With this PR, the client sends a request to start a packing, and the server responds immediately with a job ID. Then, the client will continuously check firebase for job updates for that job ID until the job eventually succeeds or fails.
• I also removed the "Run in Batch" button and the related batch stuff. We aren't going to be using batch going forward for this version of the client, so I think it's time to get rid of it.
