This PR removes the context handling code from the 360 component.
Removing this code is not a final solution but will allow 360 to work in most use cases until the root of the bug is resolved.
Additional context:
GL context handling was implemented to lose and restore web gl context based on distance from the active page. Browsers limit contexts to 8-16. Web Stories that feature 360 such as this one use less than the maximum.
This context handling broke within the past several months. Context is not restored and a blank screen is displayed. In some cases context is created but then lost right after.
The codepen example still works which leads me to believe it's a race condition within the amp story codebase. I'm unable to identify the cause of this bug at this time.
