Merged be.restructure, major internal reorganization.
Added a bunch of classes to make the commands, user interfaces, and storage backends more abstract and distinct. This should make it much easier to extend and maintain BE. Features: * Directory restructured: becommands/ -> libbe/commands submods sorted by functionality. * Lots of new classes: Option, Argument, Command InputOutput, StorageCallbacks, UserInterface Storage * Consolidated ID handling in libbe.util.id * Transitioned VCS backends for Python-based VCSs from subprocess calss to internal python calls. Plus the user-visible changes: * New bugdir/bug/comment ID format replaces old bug:comment format. * Deprecated support for `be diff` on Arch and Darcs <= 2.3.1. A new backend abstraction (Storage) makes the former implementation ungainly. * Improved command completion. * Removed commands close, open, email_bugs, * Flipped some arguments `be assign BUG-ID [ASSIGNEE]` -> `be status ASSIGNED BUG-ID ...` `be severity BUG-ID SEVERITY` -> `be severity SEVERITY BUG-ID ...` `be status BUG-ID STATUS` -> `be status STATUS BUG-ID ...` In the merge: * Added 'commit' to list of pagerless commands. * Updated doc/README.dev See #bea86499-824e-4e77-b085-2d581fa9ccab/1100c966-9671-4bc6-8b68-6d408a910da1# for a discussion of why the changes were made and some of the difficulties en-route.
