For clients who are surfacing DC in Visual Analytics, they would like the ability to display column labels instead of names. We should therefore introduce another url toggle (similar to embed=true), which will show the LABEL instead of the NAME.

TODO: figure out how to add something in the UI to allow the toggle. Perhaps a right click on the column headers?

The dropdown below should now show NAME in addition to LABEL (ie, as first option), here:

The labels can be taken from the cols object in getdata:

We ought to test excel upload to make sure the columns are still matched on import, when labels are different.

We also need a test to make sure that the labels can be modified in the MPE_DATADICTIONARY table.
