Faster validations + record reference stability at the same time (#2848)
This PR adds a validation mode whereby previous known-to-be-valid values
can be used to speed up the validation process itself. At the same time
it enables us to do fine-grained equality checking on records much more
quickly than by using something like lodash isEqual, and using that we
can prevent triggering effects for record updates that don't actually
alter any values in the store.

Here's some preliminary perf testing of average time spent in
`store.put()` during some common interactions

| task | before (ms) | after (ms) |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| drawing lines | 0.0403 | 0.0214 |
| drawing boxes | 0.0408 | 0.0348 |
| translating lines | 0.0352 | 0.0042 |
| translating boxes | 0.0051 | 0.0032 |
| rotating lines | 0.0312 | 0.0065 |
| rotating boxes | 0.0053 | 0.0035 |
| brush selecting boxes | 0.0200 | 0.0232 |
| traversal with shapes | 0.0130 | 0.0108 |
| traversal without shapes | 0.0201 | 0.0173 |

**traversal** means moving the camera and pointer around the canvas

#### Discussion

At the scale of hundredths of a millisecond these .put operations are so
fast that even if they became literally instantaneous the change would
not be human perceptible. That said, there is an overall marked
improvement here. Especially for dealing with draw shapes.

These figures are also mostly in line with expectations, aside from a
couple of things:

- I don't understand why the `brush selecting boxes` task got slower
after the change.
- I don't understand why the `traversal` tasks are slower than the
`translating boxes` task, both before and after. I would expect that
.putting shape records would be much slower than .putting pointer/camera
records (since the latter have fewer and simpler properties)
