Make network graph slider easier to use
Currently the network graph slider has 288 possible positions, and most of these are likely never used, due to obscure durations.
This pull request simplifies the slider to have only 12 positions, making it much easier to use, and setting the durations to more likely-wanted settings: 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h.
This change also allows easier rearranging of the window, for example, adding an extra button next to the reset button, shrinking the slider, and therefore making it still easy to use when smaller in length.
Concept NAK, 12 sliders are too few positions for such a large slider.
I booted it and tested the 12 sliders. It feels like few positions. Please iterate.

@katesalazar This is intentional as there is talk about adding an extra button, and so the slider will be reduced in size in the future, but I do agree with you as it is.
What extra durations do you propose being added? I propose 1-10 in steps of 1, 10-60 in steps of 5, 1hr to 2hr in steps of 0.5hrs, 2hr to 6hr in steps of 1hr, 6hrs to 24hrs in steps of 3hrs. That's a total of 10+10+2+4+3 = 29 steps.
or 1,2,3,5,10,15,20,30,1h,2h,3h,6h,12h,18h,24h ? I really question whether people want 6,7,8,9,25,35,45,50,55,1.5h,4h,5h,9h,15h,21h... these seem unlikely to be used.
How exactly does this make the slider "easier to use"? The workflow of using the slider as a slider remains untouched
@jarolrod because it is faster to use, i.e. less moving left and right to get the exact duration desired (usually a round number).
nice, looking forward to the button
