Tabs patch!

CHANGES
-------

 + Introduced tabs. First, we extended the menu system to support tabs. Next, a tab was added for every link that was (1) an administrative action other than the implicit 'view' (2) relevant to that particular page only. This is illustrated by the fact that all tabs are verbs and that clicking a page's tab leads you to a subpage of that page.

 + Flattened the administration menu. The tabs helped simplify the navigation menu as I could separate 'actions' from 'navigation'. In addition, I removed the 'administer > configuration'-menu, renamed 'blocks' to 'sidebars' which I hope is a bit more descriptive, and made a couple more changes. Earlier, we already renamed 'taxonomy' to 'categorization' and we move 'statistics' under 'logs'.

 + Grouped settings. All settings have been grouped under 'administer > settings'.

TODO
----

 + Update core themes: only Xtemplate default supports tabs and even those look ugly.  Need help.

 + Update contributed modules.  The menu() hook changed drastically.  Updating your code adhere the new menu() function should be 90% of the work.  Moreover, ensure that your modue's admin links are still valid and that URLs to node get updated to the new scheme ('node/view/x' -> 'node/x').

- Patch #8405 by Adrian:
   + Fixed duplicated view.
   + Fixed node types not being picked up correctly.
   + Improved error handling in case a particular node has not been found.

- Added support for 403 handling.  Patch by JonBob.  As a side benefit,
  administrators will be able to define a custom 403 page, just as they
  can define 404 pages now.

  This needs to be documented in the "Changes since / migrating to ..."
  pages.

- Patch by Steven: removed redundant permission checks.  These are no longer
  required thanks to the new 404 handling.

- Patch #5111 by Bart: fixed inconsistent default values.

- Patch 5592 by Goba: let drupal_map_assoc() rule.  :-)

- Renamed CHANGELOG to CHANGELOG.txt for Windows uses.

  Uses drupal_set_message() so the message doesn't interfeer with non-HTML
  formats (posting using blog API etc).

- Patch #5281: removed hardcoded table and CSS from the queue module.  Made
  the queue page-able.  Patch by Stefan.

- Patch 5256: code improvements: theme('header') + theme('footer') -> theme('page').
  Patch by Gerhard.

- Committed phase 4 of JonBob's menu system changes.

- Synchronized some page and link titles.

- Committed phase 3 of JonBob's menu changes.  Adds an API for modules to
  define titles and breadcrumbs for their pages, and updates the theme
  system to display them.

- Patch by JonBob:

  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.

- Committed stage 2 of the theme system improvements!  Patch by CodeMonkeyX.

- Committed stage 1 of the menu callbacks improvements.  Patch by Jonathan.
