Add support for footnotes #535

From the forums:

When he tapped on a link to a footnote reference, it displayed the footnote text in what looked like a pop-up window ... I gotta say, the pop-up display was very cool. Looking at the raw code of the epub, I can see where the links to the footnote references are coded as:

<a epub:type="noteref" href="#citationxx">link text</a>

Then the footnote text is coded as:

<aside epub:type="footnote"><div epub:type="footnote" id="citationxx"><p>reference text blah blah blah</p></div></aside>

Evidently, these tags are what are described here:

The reading experience was really nice with the pop-up windows. Any chance of doing something similar with PageTurner?
