[PROPOSAL] Improve ZDB UI #505

Description

@nicpuppa

ZDB with 2.4.0 introduced a UI to easily visualise the logs and the state. This is already great but I think we can do more to improve the usability of the tool.

See the video

I'd like to evolve Zdb, from just a tool to inspect logs and state, to a tool that can be used by everyone (customer + engineers) to verify all the time what's going on in Zeebe.
My idea is to be able to run the UI on a running cluster or locally, without have to specify any path, or specify any partition. Just let Zdb do the works for me.
The records will be showed in a table format, and Zdb should understand the structure of the JSON and build the right table out of it.

We can also decide to merge all the records from different partition into a single table and add a column that specify the partition number at the end, this might have impacts on performance.

This are just my initial thoughts and I'm happy if we can discuss more about it
