ObjectSelector rewrite

This plugin needs a refactoring; it is slow implementation-wise and should be more flexible.

Other issues which should be taken into consideration:

• vertical / horizontal modes to e.g. make it possible to use the bottom / top dockareas as well (not possible right now as you won't see most of the plugins gui)
• scroll position when you select an object namespace should be removed as it is annoying instead of helpful
• preview should be only enabled in text-mode (no need to display the same image twice)
• image-mode should highlight the current active selection

(In [3909]) - refactored ObjectSelector
- added auto-alignment depending on docking area (vertical/horizontal)
- right click can be used to trigger the alignment change manually
- no annoying resizes on object selection
- speed issues not fully solved, but pin-pointed: resizing ~200 icons is a bit too much for pychan

• gui Plugins can now use auto-alignment functionality from the ToolBar class
• small design fix in LayerTool
• small fix for MapFileHistory
• editor now doesn't load the same mapfile twice (gives feedback in the statusbar)

(In [3910]) - re-enabled saving for ObjectEdit plugin

• implemented XMLObjectSaver which allows serialization of a fife.Object
  • NOTE: only well-formed xml files are accepted
  • NOTE: provides a compat-mode to scan for tree roots, but also uses new tree root
  • added namespace sorting to ObjectSelector

(In [3917]) - refactored ObjectEdit
- removed AnimationViewer component
- added new cell cost & cost id property (not loaded by trunk/ loaders)
- added cellstackposition property (not loaded by trunk/ loaders)
- plugin now also saves it's docking status in the editor settings file
- objects selected in the ObjectSelector now also update the ObjectEdit plugin
- removed all instance related options
- the plugin does however use the selected instance (if present) to show e.g. selected actions or rotations (not working for animated instances yet, as those need a facing location and don't react on instance.setRotation())
- image offset of animated objects can now be editted - the plugin applies the new offset to all animation frames
- saving animation image offsets does not work however (we need to migrate to new XML structure first)

• small fix for InstanceHighlighter (deselects previous highlighted instances on new selections)
• small fix for ObjectSelector - moved signal for onObjectSelector elsewhere (!= to Elsweyr ;-))
• adjusted XMLObjectSaver to also save new object properties
