ajaxlib: MDL-16695 New page_requirements_manager class. Soon to replace require_js.

This new class does the work that require_js used to do, and more.
It can track a number of different things that may be required to
be output somewhere on the page, including:

    * Links to JS files
    * Links to CSS files
    * Links to YUI libraries (this class knows about the dependancies between the different libs).
    * Skip links that go from the top of <body> to various places in the content.
    * Calls to JavaScript functions (for example to initialise things)
    * Bits of data from PHP that need to be available to JavaScript
    * As a special case of that, an easy way to pass language strings to JS.

The new API looks like

$PAGE->requires->css('mod/mymod/styles.css');
$PAGE->requires->js('mod/mymod/script.js');
$PAGE->requires->js('mod/mymod/small_but_urgent.js')->in_head();
$PAGE->requires->js_function_call('init_mymod', array($data))->on_dom_ready();

$PAGE->requires is the canonical instances of this new class.

The commit also includes unit tests, and hopefully the PHP doc comments are
clear enough that it is easy to understand.
