Don't cache data contents in script state #243

In 8de418f, I made it so the data.py/R scripts wouldn't update the text if the data they just generated was exactly the same. This was a nice-enough quality of life feature, but it caused a lot of unnecessary re-renders, which I "fixed" in 805ca1b.

However, this has several other bugs if the output of your script is deterministic. The easiest to see is:

  1. Run a deterministic data.R
  2. Edit data.json, save
  3. Re-run data.R, observe that it claims the data is unchanged.

I considered several refactors to save this feature, but all seemed too complicated to justify their use, so I'm proposing we just ditch it and always update the data after a successful script run.

The "you already had that deterministic output around, friend" notice is a small sacrifice for code simplicity. Looks good, feel free to push
