Summary: add new 'node' type for attributes

New Features:

Bugs Fixed: LPP-5799

Technical Reviewer: ptw
QA Reviewer: max
Doc Reviewer: dtemkin

Documentation:

You can declare an attribute with the new LZX type 'node', which means  
that it is acceptable
to have a named child with that attribute name. For example:

<class name="myclass">
    <attribute name="titleview" type="node"/>
</class>

<myclass>
   <view name="titleview"/> <!-- this is fine, will not give warning -->
   <view name="source"/>  <!-- this overrides a non-node-type  
attribute, and will give a warning -->
</myclass>


Release Notes:


Details:

Tests:

<canvas>
   <class name="myclass">
     <attribute name="titleview" type="node"/>
   </class>

   <myclass>
     <!-- should be no warning for this, it's a node-type attribute -->
     <view name="titleview"/>

     <!-- should get warning for this, about ndoe name conflicting  
with 'source' attribute -->
     <view name="source"/>
   </myclass>
</canvas>
