Summary: Move formatToString into LFC

New Features: lz.text has a new method, `format` that implements most
of `printf` for setting the text (content).

Bugs Fixed:
LPP-3073 'Move Format and formatToString from Debug to LFC'

QA Reviewer: frisco (pending)
Doc Reviewer: jgrandy, jsundman (pending)

Documentation:
     Here is an example of using the text `format` method to set the
     contents of a text node.

     <canvas>
       <class name="clickClock" extends="text">
         <attribute name="dayTable"
                    value='["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday",  
"Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]'
                    />
         <handler name="onclick">
           var now = new Date;
           this.format("You clicked me at %02d:%02d:%02d on %s",
                       now.getHours(),
                       now.getMinutes(),
                       now.getSeconds(),
                       dayTable[now.getDay()]);
         </handler>
       </class>
       <clickClock>
         Click Me!
       </clickClock>
     </canvas>

Release Notes:

Details:
     lztext: Duplicated debugger format tests for text

     debugger/LzFormat, compiler/LzFormatter: moved pad and
     formatToString out of debugger into compiler as a mixin.

     core/Library: moved class support to compiler.

     LzText: mix in LzFormatter, add format method.

     LaszloLibrary, compiler/Library: compiler runtime support is 3
     files now: runtime, class, and formatter.

     Parser.jjt: add `mixin` as an alias for `trait` and `with` as an
     alias for `inherits`.  This will allow us to transition to the new
     approved syntax for mixins.

Tests:
     ant lztest, smokecheck
