update the structure of the mri objects in the DB to deal with volume and text annotations in the same way

[r03ert0]

The mri object in the DB looks currently like this:

mri: {
  atlas: [
    { owner:, created:, modified:, access:, type:, filename:, labels:, project:, name:}
  ],
  annotations: {
    thing1:,
    thing2:,
    ...
  }
}

atlas means in fact annotations of type volume, and annotations means annotations of type text (and in the future there may be more type of annotations added).

The mri structure should be the same for any type of annotation. Like this:

mri: {
  annotations: [
    { owner:, created:, modified:, access:, type:, filename:, values:, project:, name:}
  ]
}

(the labels field will then just be replaced by the values field when type is volume)

@r03ert0 - if multiple people make edits to the same brain mask, is that captured somewhere?

i.e. for any brain can we pull a list of all people who worked on it, like google docs.

currently we all modifications are time stamped and stored as backups, so yes, it would be possible (we need to provide traceability!)

however, there's no api route for querying this information, only direct inspection of the DB

we also need a modifiedBy field in each annotation indicating who was the user that did the last modification (the date is in the modified field).

mri: {
  annotations: [
    {
      owner: [userID of the person that created the annotation],
      created: [date of creation, in toJSON format],
      modified: [date of latest modification [all backups will also be stamped with their corresponding date]],
      modifiedBy: [userID of the person that did the last modification],
      access: [this field is probably not required -- the info should be obtained from the project],
      type: [volume, text, etc in the future],
      filename: [in case the annotation has an accompanying file. Currently the case only for volume annotations],
      values: [the labelset for volume annotations, the list of allowed values for text annotations, or freeform for unconstrained text annotations],
      project: [the project to which this annotation belongs, if any],
      name: [the name of the annotation, for example 'Brain Mask', or 'Comments']
    }
  ]
}
