    Refactor Redux store · ca72ca9a

    The `annotationUI` module evolved from before we used Redux to manage
    app state and it was getting large and doing too much. This PR splits
    out most of the logic into smaller modules in the `reducers` folder. The
    `annotationUI` module continues to present the same exports as before to
    avoid needing to change too much in one commit. Each module in `reducers/`
    defines:
    
     - An `init` function which returns the initial state relating to some
       aspect of the application
     - A set of action types, relating to that aspect of the application
     - An `update` function which processes those actions
     - A set of action creators, which are helper functions that create
       these actions
     - A set of selector functions, which are helper functions that return
       derived data from this state
    
    There is a root module in reducers/index.js which combines the actions,
    init function and update functions from each module into a single init
    and update function which can be used to initialize the Redux store.
    
    Action creators which require access to the current app state or are
    asynchronous, such as `addAnnotations` return thunks. See
    https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk#motivation . Several
    selection-related action creators currently return thunks but can be
    refactored in future into plain actions.
    
    To avoid making this commit too large, annotationUI continues to export
    wrappers around the action creators so that code outside the Redux store
    and tests do not need to be changed.
