This is Part I: The changes to the layout files and modules. Part II, still
to come, will involve lyx2lyx to help people who were using the older classes.

None of the extant modules require any other modules, but the Theorem modules all exclude one another. (See the screenshot.) When I modularize the AMS classes---that is the next task---we'll have requires.

* src/TextClass{cpp,h}:
- implement Requires tag for class and InsetLayout.
* src/Layout.{cpp,h}:
- implement Requires tag for layouts.
- increase layouts format to 6.
* src/Paragraph.cpp:
- request required features for paragraph layouts.
* src/LaTeXFeatures.cpp:
- add some packages needed by modules.
- remove Preamble method for InsetLayout. This is now done
in InsetFlex::validate.
* src/BufferParams.cpp (validate):
- request required features for the class.
* src/insets/InsetLayout.h:
- new member "requires".
* src/insets/InsetFlex.{cpp,h}:
- implement validate method and request required features and preamble snippets.
* lib/layouts/*.{layout,module,inc}:
- increase layouts format to 6.
- use Requires tags in some modules (more can be done later).
* lib/doc/Customization.lyx:
- document Requires tag.

Design goal: Allow the use of layout "modules", which are to LaTeX packages as layout files are to LaTeX document classes. Thus, one could have a module that defined certain character styles, environments, commands, or what have you, and include it in various documents, each of which uses a different document class, without having to modify the layout files themselves. For example, a theorems.module could be used with article.layout to provide support for theorem-type environments, without having to modify article.layout itself, and the same module could be used with book.layout, etc.
This patch adds the backend. The ModuleList class holds a list of the available modules, which are retrieved from lyxmodules.lst, itself generated by configure.py. There are two LFUNs available: modules-clear and module-add, which do the obvious thing; you can test by typing these into the minibuffer, along with the name of one of the available modules: URL (a CharStyle), Endnote (a Custom Inset), and---with the spaces---End To Foot (View>LaTeX and look at the user preamble), which are themselves in lib/layouts. There are some others, too, that allow theorems to be added to classes like article and book.
The GUI will come next.
Issues: (i) The configure.py script could be improved. It'd be nice, for example, if it tested for the presence of the LaTeX packages a particular module needs. But this would mean re-working the LaTeX script, and I don't know how to do that. Note that at present, the packages are ignored. This will change shortly. (ii) I've used std::string in LyXModule, following what seemed to be a precedent in TextClass. If some of these should be docstrings, please let me know, and I'll change them. (iii) There is at present no distinction between LaTeX and DocBook modules. Should there be? That is: Should there be modules that are available when the document class is a LaTeX class and others that are available only when it is DocBook? Or should there just be one set of modules? Each module can of course indicate for what it is suitable in its description.
