Most of our uses of source extent were cargo cult programming. The source extent was seldom and inconsistently used. Instead, layers can now be configured with an extent, and layer renderers limit rendering (and data requests) to the layer extent.
For vector sources, the `getExtent` method returns the extent of currently loaded features (this was the case before and after this change). For tile based sources, we will likely want to allow easy construction of tile grids based on an extent (this is not possible before or after this change, but could be added later).
The change in #2098 made it so a feature's geometry could be undefined. This is consistent with the return type for the getGeometry method. Where calling code needs to ensure that it has a geometry instance, it can use instanceof, goog.isDefAndNotNull(), or test for a truthy value.
This commit simplifies the exports.js plugin so it only relies
on the stability notes to generate the documentation, which
completely decouples it from the exportable API.
As a rule of thumb, whenever something has an 'api' annotation,
it should also have a 'stability' annotation. A more verbose
documentation of ol3 specific annotation usage is available in
the new 'apidoc/readme.md' file.
This commit also modifies all source files to implement these
usage suggestions.
