Pull request #483 (2018-03-16 14:16:39)

Domains and effects are standalone entities
This commit makes a change to the dispatch process such that domains and effects own their own dispatch. It does this by creating Effect and Domain classes. 

Instead of maintaining a central "snapshot" system, each Domain maintains their own state in a ledger similar to the snapshot system. Domains can also send out updates separately.

Long term, this supports asynchronous Domains. I'd like to be able to sync a Domain to something like window location, or a web socket, and be able to maintain state that way.

## What this looks like

`domainEngine` and `effectEngine` have been removed. Instead of publishing that an action was appended to history, history emits discrete state updates as actions change. These get dispatched to domains and effects. When a domain changes, it emits a new change via a Subject.

```
repo.push -> action -> history -> [next,complete,error] -> [domains, effects] 
```
