ISIS-1343: ActionDomainEvent now has a getMixedIn(),populated for mixin actions. Corresponding changes to the rest of the metamodel.

> Issue Type: New Feature

> A command is NOT an action invocation, it is an INTENTION to invoke an action. Generally that intention is carried out immediately, hence a foreground command. Sometimes though it is carried out in the background, so is a deferred intention.
> What this implies is that a command should not contain details of the action's results. (If that information is available from reified ActionDomainEvents, then they can be contributed/mixed in)
> A command should cope with the concept of being invoked on more than one object, ie having a list of targets. nb: this implies that our current terminology of "bulk actions" is actually wrong, we ought to be talking about "bulk commands".
> We can envisage (at least) two different user intentions when performing a bulk command:
> a) perform the operation on as many as possible, or
> b) perform the operation on all of them, or none at all.
> The former suggests that each action is wrapped in its own command: the user intends to operate on each object, one after the other. The latter suggests that all the actions live in a single command.
> Dan's view is that a command is one:one with a (DB) transaction.
> ~~~
> the original version of this ticket was to change the Command#setMemento to use the ActionInvocationMementoDto. However, that now seems to be incorrect:
> - an AimDto is a record of an action being invoked (past tense, if you will), not the intention to invoke an action
> - as such an AimDto holds a return value, but that is strictly irrelevant to a Command
> - an AimDto relates only to a single target, whereas a Command could have multiple targets ("perform this action on all of em, or none of em")
> So, instead, this ticket is to define a new XSD just as the reified form of Commands. It needs to be able to handle mxins, and bulk actions. It *shouldn't* have action results.
> ~~~
> Note that this will also require some data migration scripts for anyone that has used this feature.
