Description Alexander Nyßen

We have a couple of "transaction" policies (SelectionPolicy, FocusPolicy, ZoomPolicy) which actually do not perform a semantic action but only set information in an interaction model. We should remove this indirection, as it causes configuration (bindings) and performance overhead (additional delegation via adapter lookup), while not bringing any direct benefit.

Removed SelectionPolicy, FocusPolicy, ZoomPolicy, and HoverPolicy, which did not bundle any complex logic. Inlined the delegation to the interaction models into those policies that delegated to them before.

Pushed changes to origin/master. Resolving as fixed in 3.10.0M3.
