    The API activity indicator, which gives users indication that network
    communication is occurring, has previously been pretty interwoven with
    the rest of the API communication code. This is the first step in
    cleaning up that code by moving the display for this indicator into its
    own view.

    The view manages showing activity and error information, and displays
    details on any errors shown, just like the old indicator. However, the
    error details box has been simplified, removing the response payload.
    That information was more useful back when browsers didn't come with
    useful debugging consoles, but is a lot less useful now. Instead of
    attempting to show anything, we just say that more details might be
    found in the browser and server logs.

    Tested Loading/Saving activity indication.

    Tested display of errors and error details.
