[APBeta] Moving the Observation database to another machine

[Jeff Young]

Now that observations are easily edited from the global observations window, the only time I ever use the reference back to the original plan is for sorting -- for which it doesn't need to be a real link.  That being said, I almost never do that either, so I wouldn't really care if it went away entirely.

While we're on the topic of editing from the global observations window, it'd be nice if the edit dialog had the information box (with magnification limits, focal length, etc.) as found on the observations tab.
