4.0 Beta 2 (#578)

- Removes jquery-ui dependency (replaced with SortableJS). No improvements to bundle size, but removes one more jQuery dependency
- Uses dynamic imports so the JS is now chunked
- Fixes a subtle versioning info that prevents PyPi from flagging beta releases
- Adds back support for Django 3.2 (no code changes required - simply added back to tox tests and setup.py)
- Fixes a few styling bugs

-Vite builds a single JS bundle for SQL Explorer. The bundle is larger than ideal, at ~600kb due primarily to CodeMirror and the pivot-table functionality (which, regrettably, requires jQuery UI for it's 'sortable' feature).

+The bundle for the SQL editor is fairly large at ~400kb, due primarily to CodeMirror. There is opportunity to reduce this by removing jQuery, which we hope to do in a future release.
 
-The bundle is distributed in the PyPi release (and will be found by collectstatic) or can be built via `npm run build`.
+The built front-end files are distributed in the PyPi release (and will be found by collectstatic). Instructions for building the front-end files are in :doc:`install.rst`.
