Rework frontmatter to be more versatile #58

Our current system of plaintext dedication and acknowledgements is print-book centric. That's not how Anthologize is being used.

We should get rid of those entirely. Instead, there should be a mechanism for creating your own front-matter -- a cover page, and any additional pages that go in the front.

At least, front matter should be editable with tinymce. Even better, a way to signal a "Part" as front matter, and piggy-back on existing code and tools in WP might simplify things? That'd call for that Anthologization to look for the flag of what's a front-matter page (and maybe a unique cover page). But that sounds more straightforward than the current system.

Front matter should be just another page on Wordpress. That's how https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks works and it's great.
