* part of #80, support mask input options
* close#188 enhance sampling options
Use a more general sampling strategy interface to describe the
configuration of sampling events collection.
Implemented mousmove, mouse interaction, scroll and input sampling
strategy.
- What was broken was that it would just play activity from the first page view, but then would stop at the second page view (meta) as actions after that had been discarded
- This restores the functionality given by the comment 'return the events from last meta to the end.' - we never want to discard events that are after the baseline time
- I believe 'session' is the incorrect terminology for this function name, as a session in web analytics usually means a series of page views

Since the currently 'play at any time offset' implementation is pretty simple,
there are many things we can do to optimize its performance.
In this patch, we do the following optimizations:
1. Ignore some of the events during fast forward.
For example, when we are going to fast forward to 10 minutes later,
we do not need to perform mouse movement events during this period.
2. Use a fragment element as the 'virtual parent node'.
So newly added DOM nodes will be appended to this fragment node,
and finally being appended into the document as a batch operation.
These changes reduce a lot of time which was spent on reflow/repaint previously.
I've seen a 10 times performance improvement within these approaches.
And there are still some things we can do better but not in this patch.
1. We can build a virtual DOM tree to store the mutations of DOM.
This will minimize the number of DOM operations.
2. Another thing that may help UX is to make the fast forward process async and cancellable.
This may make the drag and drop interactions in the player's UI looks smooth.
On recordings with many full pageloads, dom state and mutations were being applied only to be discarded when a new pageload came in, resulting in very slow time to rebuild - and inability to interactively 'scrub' through these recordings
According to @eoghanmurray's suggestion, we can support three
main scenarios:
1. record only
2. replay only
3. all in one
Since we have implemented the packer feature, which has a big
influence in bundle size, we provide another three bundles:
1. record and pack
2. replay and unpack
3. all in one with pack and unpack
