As an annotator, I want to link to COVE and BRANCH resources from annotations

[jamiefolsom]

Note that there is some question about how best to manage and link to media assets (images, video, audio, etc). Currently AS allows for insertion of existing web-accessible media, but not upload and storage. Either we could use COVE for storage, or we could stand up MEL Catalog for storage purposes. The latter would have the advantage of allowing future tenants of the edition pipeline to move documents to sites which are not capable of media storage, without losing that capacity.

As a proof of concept, I've installed and enabled MEL Catalog integration in cove-studio. This is one possible and eventual solution for media uploads and asset management. It's probably not in scope to customize MEL catalog for use with COVE 2.0. But 2.1 or beyond, yes, if it's decided that this is a good solution, and if it's prioritized.

In the meantime, for both document embedding and for annotation embedding, we can use either the COVE drupal site, or any other web-accessible media. Marking as delivered.

A question -- can COVE expose a read-only HTTP/JSON endpoint listing available (maybe categorized) media assets for inclusion in documents/annotations? Capturing that in #32
