[doc/model][m]: move all main model item docs in jekyll doc library-model.markdown and start tidying up.

* Started this in branch even though general as a pre-cursor to documentation of new backend setup.

// Following (Backbone) attributes as standard:
//
// * id: a unique identifer for this field- usually this should match the key in the records hash
// * label: (optional: defaults to id) the visible label used for this field
// * type: (optional: defaults to string) the type of the data in this field. Should be a string as per type names defined by ElasticSearch - see Types list on <http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/>
// * format: (optional) used to indicate how the data should be formatted. For example:
// * type=date, format=yyyy-mm-dd
// * type=float, format=percentage
// * type=string, format=markdown (render as markdown if Showdown available)
// * is_derived: (default: false) attribute indicating this field has no backend data but is just derived from other fields (see below).
//
// Following additional instance properties:
//
// @property {Function} renderer: a function to render the data for this field.
// Signature: function(value, field, record) where value is the value of this
// cell, field is corresponding field object and record is the record
// object (as simple JS object). Note that implementing functions can ignore arguments (e.g.
// function(value) would be a valid formatter function).
//
// @property {Function} deriver: a function to derive/compute the value of data
// in this field as a function of this field's value (if any) and the current
// record, its signature and behaviour is the same as for renderer. Use of
// this function allows you to define an entirely new value for data in this
// field. This provides support for a) 'derived/computed' fields: i.e. fields
// whose data are functions of the data in other fields b) transforming the
// value of this field prior to rendering.
//
// #### Default renderers
//
// * string
// * no format provided: pass through but convert http:// to hyperlinks
// * format = plain: do no processing on the source text
// * format = markdown: process as markdown (if Showdown library available)
// * float
// * format = percentage: format as a percentage

// Query instances encapsulate a query to the backend (see <a
// href="backend/base.html">query method on backend</a>). Useful both
// for creating queries and for storing and manipulating query state -
// e.g. from a query editor).
//
// **Query Structure and format**
//
// Query structure should follow that of [ElasticSearch query
// language](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/).
//
// **NB: It is up to specific backends how to implement and support this query
// structure. Different backends might choose to implement things differently
// or not support certain features. Please check your backend for details.**
//
// Query object has the following key attributes:
//
// * size (=limit): number of results to return
// * from (=offset): offset into result set - http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/from-size.html
// * sort: sort order - <http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/sort.html>
// * query: Query in ES Query DSL <http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/query.html>
// * filter: See filters and <a href="http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/filtered-query.html">Filtered Query</a>
// * fields: set of fields to return - http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/fields.html
// * facets: specification of facets - see http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/facets/
//
// Additions:
//
// * q: either straight text or a hash will map directly onto a [query_string
// query](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/query-string-query.html)
// in backend
//
// * Of course this can be re-interpreted by different backends. E.g. some
// may just pass this straight through e.g. for an SQL backend this could be
// the full SQL query
//
// * filters: array of ElasticSearch filters. These will be and-ed together for
// execution.
//
// **Examples**
//
// <pre>
// {
// q: 'quick brown fox',
// filters: [
// { term: { 'owner': 'jones' } }
// ]
// }
