Hierarchical 'data catalogue' navigation within the frontend

[cpnat]

I believe it would be useful to offer alternative navigation options within the Amundsen frontend (as many users will naturally understand data in the way which is structured within the database).

In it's simplest form this would be a hierarchical view (under the 'Browse' page), exposing the existing nodes/relations persisted in Neo4J (Database -> Cluster -> Schema -> Table). This could be extended by allowing a user to return to the hierarchical view from within the page for a given table_detail entity.

This has been discussed in further detail within the Slack thread here:- https://amundsenworkspace.slack.com/archives/CGFBVT23V/p1571252882070700

In Lyft's team opinion, we think that a good faceted search would cover this use case partially. That's the direction we will try to follow, but we are not closed to anybody else in the community to take over this and ship it.
