Summary:
On homogeneous mode, children are of the same weight and of the same min size
which is determined by maximum min size of children.

this resolves unimplemented API by just mirroring the calls to different
API calls.

When I first implemented the Efl.Container interface I made a mistake of
mixing "single slot" content API's with "multiple children" content
API's. This should fix that, by separating API's that are for a single
part and those that deal with a list of children.
Efl.Content: Single slot. This will be used a lot by efl_part()
objects, and for the default content of widgets (eg. the window
content).
Efl.Container: Multiple children. Used by lists, boxes, layouts
(edje/elm), etc...
I didn't see any class that implemented both interfaces (note: Layout
implements Container and Button implements Content, so technically
Button implements both through inheritance).
For now the eo_prefix is not changed in Efl.Container. I wonder if it
should be reset (to efl_container) or not. This would only affect the C
API.

After talking with @eunue I realised that the way I'd first
implemented the box/grid "pack" API was simply too complicated.
I had tried to make it possible to change the layout function
at runtime, like good old evas box, but since there are no function
pointers in EO the final design was really convoluted.
If someone really needs to change the layout of a box at runtime,
just create your own subclass, or unpack all items and repack them
in a new box.
Note: there are still some issues with the layout params & flow
This renames some APIs from Efl.Pack in order to try and
make them more sensible. Feedback welcome.
Also, most APIs now return bool, where false is quite unlikely
to happen.
This removes Efl.Pack_Named which had a terrible name,
removes Elm.Container which should have been renamed
Efl.Ui.Container anyway, and introduces an interface
Efl.Container instead.
The hierarchy tree is now changed as objects don't inherit
from Efl.Container (it's an interface, not a regular class)
but only implement it. Obviously it is very easy to
reintroduce an Efl.Ui.Container parent class if we need it,
but I guess it should have some actual logic. It's basically
part of what Elm.Widget already does.
Some function names have been modified to look better in C
with the efl_content prefix.
@feature
- Children are now contents
- Efl.Pack_Layout is now a separate class and
merges Pack_Engine.
- Removed dumb class Efl.Pack_Item
- Updated docs
- Added pack_ or grid_ prefixes to some methods
So, since we don't have function pointers, all the solutions
to reimplementing the layout function are quite convoluted:
1. use events
2. reimplement layout func
3. use an extra object
4. use a generic class (non instanciated)
Promises don't apply here (layout will run multiple times).
Problems:
1. Multiple event callbacks will be called, resulting in
potential performance impact, extra events, etc...
Also, there is no way to define standard implementations
that would be provided by the framework.
2. Reimplementation of a function requires extra EO work
(create an EO class, etc...), doesn't allow on-the-fly
change of the layout method.
3. Probably the best solution is to have an object implementing
the layout. But this means creating an extra object along
with the container.
4. To avoid the extra object, use a class, and reimplement
a @class function. This unfortunately requires extra
EO work.
Solution 4. has been selected, but it's not very nice...
This should be the only linear packing container.
This replaces: evas box and elm box.
Edje box needs to be kept around for compatibility,
but it stays an EDC object only (for apps).
Lots of things are still to be fleshed out in this
box implementation:
- Simplify smart object / elm widget code
- Maybe stop using evas object box altogether
- Implement other layout strategies
