[Data-modeling] Adding a mediating CVT between Kingdom and Monarch

I'm planning to add a CVT between /royalty/monarch and /royalty/ 
kingdom to capture the dates of the reigns.  Originally there were  
from/to dates on "Monarch" but these properties are currently hidden,  
as they don't really work well for complicated such as James I of  
England/James VI of Scotland where one monarch rules different  
kingdoms at different times.

This change will break applications/views that rely on that schema,  
but as I don't think there are many using it, I don't think it's a  
particularly high impact change.  Unless anyone squeals, I'll do it  
next week sometime.
