Revert "Implement Boxed annotation"

This reverts commit b09dddf.

Implementing boxing in terms of annotations is conceptually correct, but
interacts with an existing bug in the definition of `pre_hash` (see
mirage#39) that makes this change
breaking inside Irmin.

Pending a solution to mirage#39, we
should avoid changing the behaviour of `pre_hash` in this way. This
restores compatibility with Irmin `master`.
