fix: prevent re-rendering/flashing of maps and charts [DHIS2-14979] […

…v40] (#2266)

* fix: unwanted re-rendering of dashboard items (#2247)

* fix: solve most unwanted re-renders of dashboard items

This is basically reverting a change I added to solve a DV Highchart's
cutoff issue.
I think I found another approach for that issue which does not require
to pass style to the plugin, which is a problem because of course it
changes any time the dashboard item container changes size (window
resize, resize of other dashboard items, interpretation panel toggle,
etc...).

* chore: bump cli-app-scripts to solve no-service-worker issue

* fix: avoid sending props twice when using View as and plugin changes (#2248)

* fix: use chrome in e2e tests
