Remove tiles in favor of resource listing

Rather than removing it, I think it can be improved. With an expandable tiles container, /groups would look visually similar to /pathogens. Keeping the tiles maintains that similarity, though the behavior on click is slightly different.

An idea to integrate the two parts of the page:

1. Make the click behavior of /groups act as a filter similar to the behavior on /pathogens.
2. Make the resource listing titles clickable (to preserve links to group pages). This is currently in a PR: f137aea
3. Make the resource listing show groups without resources (to preserve links to all groups).

Make the resource listing show groups without resources (to preserve links to all groups).

Ah right, I hadn't considered groups without datasets! We should definitely preserve links to all groups even if they do not have published resources.

I think the expandable cards container makes sense for the /pathogens page because we plan to have curated cards. Will the expandable display still make sense if we display ~all groups (we're already at 30+ public groups) or would it feel like clutter?

Use group logo/title in card

Related to #870 which also has a task to display group logos in the resource listing.

I'll make a PR so we can get a better sense of it interactively.
