Implement dialog to add/edit a single channel in database

#69 (closed)

Implement a dialog to add/edit a single channel and a dialog to edit parameter that is call from the channel dialog

• Currently using QLineEdit for display/editing ValueColor. Later, a custom widget will be developed to have better display and easier editing.
• Parameter 'Default' is only display for the channel that has no record in DB but won't be allow to select or save or call para dialog to edit.

For testing add/edit single channel, run sohstationviewer/view/db_config/add_edit_single_channel_dialog.py and change the example lines in main

For testing edit single param, run sohstationviewer/view/db_config/add_edit_single_channel_dialog.py and change the example lines in main; or press on button 'EDIT PARAMETER' of the above dialog.

I think it would be a better idea to split the editing of channels and the editing of the parameters into different dialogs. It would still be a good idea to show how the channel will be plotted, but I don't think letting the user edit the parameter for multiple channels in the edit dialog for one channel is good.

When changing parameter, if no is chosen, the parameter changes to the default parameter instead of the previous parameter. I think this has to do with the lambda in connect_signals(). Also, the plotting info does not change back to the one of the default parameter.

I only see some minor problems on a re-review. Once you fixed all the problems and checked to make sure that you can edit the parameter for a channel, you can merge this MR. I'll approve in advance.
