/**

This file, and the embedding dialog implemented in src/frontends, implements
an 'Embedded Files' feature of lyx.


Expected features:
=========================

1. With embedding enabled (disabled by default), .lyx file can embed graphics,
listings, bib file etc.

2. Embedded file.lyx file is a zip file, with file.lyx, manifest.txt
and embedded files. 

3. An embedding dialog is provided to change embedding status (buffer
level or individual embedded files), manually embed, extract, view
or edit files.

Overall, this feature allows two ways of editing a .lyx file

a. The continuous use of the pure-text .lyx file format with external
files. This is the default file format, and allows external editing
of .lyx file and better use of version control systems.

b. The embedded way. Figures etc are inserted to .lyx file and will
be embedded. These embedded files can be viewed or edited through
the embedding dialog. This file can be shared with others more
easily. 

Format a anb b can be converted easily, by enable/disable embedding. Diabling
embedding is also called unpacking because all embedded files will be copied
to their original locations.

Implementation:
======================

1. An EmbeddedFiles class is implemented to keep the embedded files (
class EmbeddedFile). (c.f. src/EmbeddedFiles.[h|cpp])
This class keeps a manifest that has
  a. external relative filename
  b. inzip filename. It is the relative path name if the embedded file is
    in or under the document directory, or file name otherwise. Name aliasing
    is used if two external files share the same name.
  c. embedding status.
It also provides functions to
  a. manipulate manifest
  b. scan a buffer for embeddable files
  c. determine which file to use according to embedding status

2. When a file is saved, it is scanned for embedded files. (c.f.
EmbeddedFiles::update(), Inset::registerEmbeddedFiles()).

3. When a lyx file file.lyx is saved, it is save to tmppath() first.
Embedded files are compressed along with file.lyx and a manifest.txt. 
If embedding is disabled, file.lyx is saved in the usual pure-text form.
(c.f. Buffer::writeFile(), EmbeddedFiles::write())

4. When a lyx file.lyx file is opened, if it is a zip file, it is
decompressed to tmppath(). If manifest.txt and file.lyx exists in
tmppath(), the manifest is read to buffer, and tmppath()/file.lyx is
read as usual. If file.lyx is not a zip file, it is read as usual.
(c.f. bool Buffer::readFile())

5. A menu item Document -> Embedded Files is provided to open
a embedding dialog. It handles a EmbddedFiles point directly.
From this dialog, a user can disable embedding, change embedding status,
or embed other files, extract, view, edit files.

6. If embedding of a .lyx file with embedded files is disabled, all its
embedded files are copied to their respective external filenames. This
is why external filename will exist even if a file is at "EMBEDDED" status.

7. Individual embeddable insets should find ways to handle embedded files.
InsetGraphics replace params().filename with its temppath()/inzipname version
when the inset is created. The filename appears as /tmp/..../inzipname
when lyx runs. When params().filename is saved, lyx checks if this is an
embedded file (check path == temppath()), if so, save filename() instead.
(c.f. InsetGraphic::read(), InsetGraphics::edit(), InsetGraphicsParams::write())
