    Implement location sort. · 5fc45562

    The only way to get information about the location of the annotations
    in the document is to request this information from the highlights.
    
    This information can't be read out from the selectors, because anchoring
    can place them *anywhere* in the document.
    
    They also can't be read from the anchors, because anchors can contain
    any kind of description; there is no mapping to any uniform coordinate
    system.
    
    The only way to get this information is to ask the hights for
    the coordinates, after they have been rendered.
    
    So this must be done after the second-phase of anchoring; after the
    rendering of the highlights in the DOM.
    
    So now we query this info from the highlights (upon rendering
    in the host fram), and then store it back into the targets,
    which are then sent back to the sidebar, so that this information
    is available for sorting.
    
    Fixes #1217.
