Trace box facelift

We've given the trace box throughout the Helios app a facelift, so now in addition to the trace header and metadata you can also easily see the trace visualization preview.

In addition, the single span representing why the trace is displayed (e.g. API used as an entry point into the trace, or other search results) is available from the new blue span icon on the minimized graph.

This representation of a trace is also applicable when searching for traces under the 'Traces' tab.
