Summary:
most widgets inherit from layout to provide implementations for common
functionality such as content/text/theme get+set.
one of the things that layout also brings into its inheritance hierarchy
is efl.file and implementations for its methods. this becomes a problem
when the widget which inherits layout also wants to provide implementations
for efl.file methods (e.g., entry, which uses efl.file to load text files)
as it will result in calling all of the efl.file implementations up the
chain.
in the case of entry, this could result in the 'file' property eventually being
set to the current theme file in use by the entry's layout object, and then the
entry will attempt to autosave its content to the default theme file when it is
destroyed, corrupting the theme file and breaking everything
to solve this:
* efl.ui.layout remains an instantiable class which implements efl.file
* efl.ui.layout_base is the abstract class which provides all the methods of layout
but should be inherited by all widgets which want to implement efl.file functionality
Depends on D8018

Summary:
Efl.Ui.Layout namespace is removed to keep consistency with other
widgets.
Consequently, "Efl.Ui.Layout.Object" is renamed to "Efl.Ui.Layout" and
"Efl.Ui.Layout." is renamed to "Efl.Ui.Layout_".

Some names have not been changed, hopefully making a distinction
between legacy APIs and internal code (elm_layout_blah) and valid EO
usages.
This means many internal functions are still elm_layout_ as their
sole purpose is to support the legacy API.
