Rework how ESRI REST services are exposed in the browser

PR Description:

Description

This PR implements some changes to help de-clutter ESRI REST service content in the browser:

• The duplicate items for the same service exposed as both mapserver (raster) and featureserver (vector) are now hidden. Instead only show the feature server item, and move the ability to load as a raster to the right-click context menu on the item. (This mimics how ArcPro exposes these services, with the exception that it ONLY allows loading them as vectors. There's no capability
  to load as a raster when the service exposes the query capability!)
• We no longer show the "All layers" pseudo layer for mapserver items. Instead, this functionality was moved to the right-click context menu for the map service item. This avoids cluttering up the service contents in the browser with rarely used items which don't correspond to the actual contents of the service.
