Add data visualizer / integrated CLI

Hello, I have some feature feedback about Railway. I'm using Railway for multiple things including MySql database. Problem is, or not really a problem, but the thing is that whenever I want to have a look at my database or query some data in order to check something out I need to go inside a terminal, do railway link, then railway connect and so on.

How about an integrated CLI inside the MySQL service where you can just start writing SQL and querying the database?

Or maybe improve the visualizer by adding some sort/filter options?

Anyway that would be truly helpful :)

Fun fact Railway did have a query field right in the database service panel at one point, but it has since been removed.
And fair warning I have seen far too many people have their data messed up by the data panel, so please only use that as a "yeah there's some data in here" sanity check.

My preferred solution would be to deploy dbgate into the same project as the database is in and save a connection to the database over the private network, that way you can run queries and look at your data, etc all from within the context of Railway!
