Abstract
Comment: 52 pages, 23 figures. A four page summary of methods and results follows the introduction. Version 2 contains minor clarifications and edits to match the version accepted for publication by JCAP. Version 3 fixes a typo in Eq. 3.10 and a typo in the paragraph after Eq. 5.27. All other text, including results, remains the same
