Changes

Scan List - Scans are now ordered by their capture date, not their upload date

Scan Sharing - All scans are now shared in the e57 format regardless of on-device or cloud processing.
On-Device Processing Notification - When on device processing is chosen, a prompt comes up for users to confirm before starting.
Cancel Scan Prompt - When cancelling a scan, the user is prompted to confirm. This avoids accidental deletion.
