eff08af112 Separate physical data layout with views.
Previously, multiple frames with different prefixes were used to separate
different data layouts. This included separating standard row/column
layouts from inverted column/row layouts as well as storing aggregate
information for timestamp data.

Unfortunately, this caused frame meta data to be copied between multiple
frames and it made it difficult to keep these frames in sync.

This commit separates these different physical layouts into `Views`.
A `Frame` now has one or more views which represent each layout.
Fragments have been moved from under the `Frame` to be contained
within the `View`.

There are two primary views:

- `standard`
- `inverse`

If a frame has a time quantum, then views are generated for these
each of the standard/inverse views. For example a time quantum
of `YMDH` for the date `2000-01-02T00:00:00Z` would create the
following views:

- `standard_2000`
- `inverse_2000`
- `standard_200001`
- `inverse_200001`
- `standard_20000102`
- `inverse_20000102`

From the user's perspective, nothing should change in PQL. Different
PQL statements will handle the appropriate view automatically. For
example, `Bitmap()` and `Profile()` will fetch using the `standard`
view or the `inverse` view, respectively. The `Range()` statement
will lookup the appropriate time-based views automatically.
