Motivation
Currently, collections are stored as a tree, which looks very intuitive as a json of requests can easily be translated into a tree. But this added a lot of complexity when rendering and mutating objects, often having to traverse the tree and having to Rc or Arc everything.
This refactor intends to change all of that by reading a collection as separate slabs, which are vector-esque data structured that also provide access by a reliable key.
This basically touches everything inside of the project, as the tree is used by basically everything, but I do believe this is a change for good and that it will greatly improve the quality of the project.
The idea is that we will load the tree of requests and flatten it into a more linear structure whilst maintaining the hierarchy of folders and requests.
This PR will also be changing a lot of the current layout, as some stuff don't really make me happy as they are.
