the tight coupling of Derivative generation to the Characterization background
job makes it hard to customize derivatives processing without changing
characterization behavior.
this takes a hack at decoupling the two by routing derivatives through an event
handler. instead of enqueing the derivatives job directly, the CharacterizeJob
now simply reports that it has characterized the given file_id within the
file_set. it also provides its path hint, in case a listener wants to log or
reuse that hint.
we then add a listener to do the work of actually characterizing. this is a bit
of indirection, but has a lot of benefits in flexibility: you no longer need to
rewrite characterization behavior to customize derivatives handling.
