Previously, when loading Hypothesis into a page, the client would make one search request for each and every URI found on the page, including those found by the document metadata scanners (in the Annotator "Document" and "PDF" plugins.) This is wasteful of network bandwidth, and moreover should not be necessary in most cases due to the ability to expand to equivalent URIs on the server side. The component responsible for coordinating communication across page frames is the "crossframe" service. This services maintains a registry of page frames (previously called "providers") and their associated metadata. This commit reduces the metadata stored to simply the page URL, or in the case of PDF documents, the fingerprint URN. It's worth noting that this *does* change behaviour in one important way: if a page contains document equivalence data that we've never seen before, and one of the alternate URIs has already been annotated, then this change will mean we do not load annotations until that page itself has been annotated (and thus the document equivalence data updated). I am assuming that this is an extreme edge case.
