At the moment, all the widgets on a given page either load data from the API server-side, or start loading on the client upon page load. This means we're often loading far more data than the user is likely to look at. We should load data only when necessary (e.g., when the user clicks to the relevant tab or pane). I'm planning to implement this once the latest batch of features is merged in, especially asset splitting, as described in https://github.com/18F/openFEC/issues/908.

Load data for tabs on tab selection.

Add the `onShow` helper, which creates a one-time event listener to do
some work when the specified tab is selected. Also add the
`initTableDeferred` helper, which defers table initialization until the
parent tab is displayed.
