Support sharing by linking

Story Time:
It'd be really convenient when sharing fonts to be able to click a 'share' link and it would make a link that I could send to someone else and show them the exact workspace I am currently working on.
Considerations:
- how to embed the current font state?
- how to make it as small as possible?
It will need to be stored in the query string for now.

Results from brief experimentation:
- glyph data is really big, even with a small orthography and using a simple binary encoding like
msgpack. Will likely need a more custom solution for encoding. - compression is an option that might help a lot, but finding one that works reasonably well client-side is the trick
- asynchronously doing this in the background for more expensive compressions might be an option as well
