nit: Seems like some logical consolidation is in order with aligned logic in saveCustomView().

Rationale
https://github.com/LabKey/internal-issues/issues/899
Saving a grid view from a subfolder currently resolves the view inherited from an ancestor folder, edits it in place, and then on save relocates it — so the subfolder save destroys the parent's inherited default. The fix threads a new explicitTargetContainer flag through both save actions: unless the caller explicitly named a target folder, an ancestor-owned view found by the lookup is discarded so a new local view shadows it instead. On the client, SaveViewModal stops offering/sending inherit outside the app home folder, and reads inherit/shared off the new server-supplied shadowed sub-object (a session view is never itself shared or inheritable, so its own flags were always wrong defaults).
