Initial work on distro load logic.

Added new FATAL view to display information when a distro load fails. This replaces
the overlay behavior used on v1. The fatal view will eventually do an update check
and allow the user to update the app. This solves a potential issue of a user using
a very outdated launcher version, and the distro failing as a result.

Added new wrapper classes to store the distribution in the redux store.
