acardona/CATMAID — Issue #149: node.list.php (perhaps?) should also return nodes from the active skeleton

Various key shortcuts that we would like for navigating about a skeleton while in tracing mode don't work correctly because the Javascript currently only has access to the nodes in view. For example, 'p' to go to the parent only works when the parent node is currently in view. Similarly, a key shortcut to go to the next branch point won't work in many cases for the same reason.

One possible solution for this would be to have `node.list.php` return nodes from the active skeleton as well. This would also mean updating nodes from the database on selecting a new active skeleton, and making an already slow backend request even slower, so it's not completely clear that this would be a good change...
