Issue - Restore default dataset style on page change

steps:

• login and upload a dataset
• open the dataset
• edit layer settings and create a new style
• select the new create style (not the default one)
• go back to the dataset

Expected:

• dataset is rendering with the default style

Current:

• dataset is rendering with the selected style

Issue - Save the style name on change default style

steps:

• login and upload a dataset
• open the dataset
• edit layer settings and create a new style
• select the new create style (not the default one)
• make the new style the default one (click star button)

Expected:

• a new request is performed to save the style name also in the layer settings. We need to intercept the default style action and send a parallel request to save the style, so a user does not need to click on the save button for this specific case

Current:

• the new default style is not updated in geonode until a user click on the save button. A user could not click the save button leading to an inconsistent state

@dsuren1 I think we should exclude completely the style property from the data payload so style will be always undefined and GeoServer will pick always the default

Issue 1 - We have a similar issue happening in all page when navigating to previous page. We can address it as part of that issue. Kindly let me know if fine

Issue 2 - @giohappy This introduces a modification to our earlier discussion (as part of default style and save pending indicator issue):

• Selecting a new style and not making it default (default style is reflected upon loading layer setting).
  • When performing a save should we intercept the style and make it default ? @allyoucanmap
• Selecting a new style and making it default (new style selection is reflected upon loading layer setting)

In either case, style will not be saved to data payload, i.e when layer setting is loaded the default style is always selected

To streamline the process of saving layer settings—including style configuration—we propose removing the default style selection button (star icon). Instead, when a user saves the layer settings, we will intercept the selected style and perform a GeoServer API call to set it as the default. After that, the rest of the layer settings will be saved as usual.

This approach ensures that GeoNode remains in sync with GeoServer regarding the default style

@dsuren1 please proceed with this proposed implementation, thanks
