underdash: Application and Classes

ref #337

Sort of a grab bag.

• Alt doesn't require a specific base class for any of its objects. Relevant behaviors are set up at registration time.
• Marty has base classes for everything. Registration essentially just registers the object to the app.

See: #344

One migration-related thought - what if we deprecate e.g. #createActions() in favor of something like #register()? This would make it possible to put the Alt compat wrappers in the deprecated functions to avoid breaking existing users and allowing gradual migration.

I don't have an opinion here. Registration is essential if you're going the instance approach, if you're doing singletons then the registration happens whenever you import the store or action.

I think deprecating createStore, createActions in favor of a register decorator/function call makes sense.

I think this is irrelevant now.
