    Convert the `Excerpt` component to Preact. Rather than convert the
    existing implementation verbatim, this is a completely new implementation which
    should be easier to understand and use. Instead of requiring callers to
    provide an input property which represents the displayed data, which triggers a
    re-measurement if it changes, the new implementation observes the DOM
    directly for size changes.
    
    This component renders caller-provided content (ie. it accepts a `children`
    prop), which is not supported by the Preact <-> Angular bridge. Therefore it was
    also necessary to create components (`AnnotationBody`, `AnnotationQuote`) that
    encapsulate uses of `Excerpt` inside the `<annotation>` component.
    
     - Add `observe-element-size` utility module to watch for changes in
       the size of a DOM node using APIs available in the current browser
    
     - Add new `Excerpt` implementation and remove the old one
    
     - Remove `excerpt-overflow-monitor` utility that is not used by the new
       implementation
    
     - Add `AnnotationBody` component to render an annotation's markup body
       inside a (new) excerpt and convert the Angular template for
       `<annotation>` (annotation.html) to use it.
    
     - Add `AnnotationQuote` component to render an annotation's quote
       inside an excerpt and convert `annotation.html` to use it
