Flow now supports a specific React Component Syntax which reduces the amount of types we need to define manually, and is supposed to be better for type checking as well. I'm converting our React components to this syntax bit by bit with this PR.

This changes all stuff in the static subfolder, except for class components which require a lot more changes and can be done later.

Note: To be reviewed without whitespace changes (since this adds explicit return() calls that require spacing things one more tab in many cases).

On top of #3236

This is only used in one place, so there's no need to have
a separate types file just for it.

In order to make use of the benefits of the syntax,
converted components/TagEntiesList here too
so I can use its props to avoid defining things twice.
Flow wasn't happy with us passing variables we don't use
as part of props. I made some changes on how we do typing here
that actually allowed me to drop the separate types file entirely.
No changes to text content, all changes are moving
words around for max-len purposes
For VoteCheckbox in Vote.js, Flow was unhappy with us passing
a generic ...props to the input, since in theory the props can
contain different name, type etc from what we're passing separately.
This just changes it to pass value specifically, which seems to be
the intention based on Flow typing.
Instance is optional and defaults to mixed.
See https://flow.org/en/docs/react/types/#toc-react-abstractcomponent

This also causes issues when an input component's type
does not have a void instance.
Modal doesn't actually use its onClick prop at all, so this is dead code.
It seems it's not needed either.
… component syntax

Except for class components which should be converted
but are less trivial to change.
…omponent syntax

Multiselect needs a lot of changes to fix the Flow issues hidden by FlowIgnore,
will look into it in a separate commit.
AddEntityDialog needs a ref fix.
These are already the default exports
