  Phase 2 of the menu system integration project. This unifies the interface
  used by admin and non-admin pages, and deprecates the _page hook in favor of
  explicit callbacks from menu(). Breadcrumbs, titles, and help text go away
  as a result of this patch; they will return in the phase 3 patch, printed
  by the theme.

- Associate a callback with the menu links!  (This callback is not yet being
  called but will be as soon the remaining links have been transformed to use
  the menu system.)

- Made sure the menu does not render links with no callback and no children.
  Like this, the 'create content' link is not being shown when the user has
  no permission to add any content.

- Committed Al's new admin link texts.  Remarks:

  1) As explained by Al, there is still a glitch with the 'create content'
     menu.
  2) The user module part of the patch did not apply due to Kjartan's earlier
     patch.

o Permission improvements:

   + Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.

o Usability improvements to teasers:

   + Teaser forms are no more.  Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---".  Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.

   + Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.

   + When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown.  This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.

   + Forum posts can be teasered now.  This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.

o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).

o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.

o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.

o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.
