Advene

The largest change in this release is the corpus management features
and template integration that have been developped thanks to funding
from the LARSH laboratory (UPHF) in order to instrument the REMIND
method.

* Corpus management features (i.e. multi-package)
- load/save corpuses (multiple packages)
- build a corpus by recursively searching for packages in a directory
- display corpus statistics, with aggregated information by annotation type
- configurable Xlsx export of corpus data
- website export of a whole corpus
- merge a template in a whole corpus
- execute global actions on a corpus (search/replace, etc)

* Direct integration of specialized templates for REMIND method and AdA methodology

* Table view:
- export CSV export as toolbar icon, and make columns reorderable
- dynamically filter data
- when opening the table view, add options to display all package annotations or all corpus annotations
