LiveData and ViewModel replace CursorLoaders

actually, ViewModel handles survival across config change, and LiveData replaces the Loader data loaded callbacks, but they don't for example replace the cursor-based loading mechanism that allows loading large data sets in a lazy manner.

The actual replacement for that will be the new DataSource API in the Paging library which is currently alpha4. Then, CursorLoader will be replaced by LivePagedListBuilder, and just PagedList in general, with RecyclerView integration through PagedListAdapter.
