Description
Could be useful to have buttons to clear all choppers/detectors in one go.
Note that when implementing this, we porbably also want to cleanup any event connections from the widgets.
So when removing a chopper widget, we need to unobserve_all() (or the button._click_handlers.callbacks = [] equivalent for buttons).
Also, by default, an instrument is loaded (Odin).
There should be an option in the dropdown menu to make an empty instrument that would clear everything and start fresh.

Research direction
Start by locating the dashboard code that creates and removes chopper and detector widgets, then inspect the instrument dropdown that loads Odin. Done means the dashboard can clear all choppers and detectors, removes their event connections, and offers an empty instrument option that starts with everything cleared.
