Enhancements for creating clippings (pbinkley)

The rake task store_annotations has more functions:

• it processes new annotations, as in the original annotate
• it also interprets annotations to create clippings:
  • in subdirectory clippings it creates a directory structure [manifest]/[page] within which it stores clipping images, with names like 1-photo-woman-with-film-camera-1235-134-1126-637.jpg (page number, tag, title, xywh)
  • within the clippings/[manifest] directory, it creates clippings.csv, with a dump of data about all the clippings from that manifest: id,item,canvas,canvasNum,tags,texts,xywh,clippingURL,clippingImage. The id is a uuid; clippingURL can be used to retrieve the clipping image at its highest resolution, and can serve as the URI for the clipping; clippingImage contains the local path and filename of the clipping image.
  • these functions are idempotent: clipping images will only be fetched if they are not already present (otherwise it will output "No fetching [image]"), and the clippings.csv will always be regenerated from all the annotations, regardless of whether they are old or new.
  • note that the rake task needs to look at the annotations as rendered in the site, so you must run jekyll build before running the rake task. Otherwise you will see errors like error: pathspec 'annotations/heresies_01' did not match any file(s) known to git. If this happens, just run jekyll build and then run the rake task again. (This requirement will be removed in a future release.)
