Add support for theme composition and inheritance
This commit adds support for theme composition and inheritance in Hugo.

With this, it helps thinking about a theme as a set of ordered components:

```toml
theme = ["my-shortcodes", "base-theme", "hyde"]
```

The theme definition example above in `config.toml` creates a theme with the 3 components with presedence from left to right.

So, Hugo will, for any given file, data entry etc., look first in the project, and then in `my-shortcode`, `base-theme` and lastly `hyde`.

Hugo uses two different algorithms to merge the filesystems, depending on the file type:

* For `i18n` and `data` files, Hugo merges deeply using the translation id and data key inside the files.
* For `static`, `layouts` (templates) and `archetypes` files, these are merged on file level. So the left-most file will be chosen.

The name used in the `theme` definition above must match a folder in `/your-site/themes`, e.g. `/your-site/themes/my-shortcodes`. There are  plans to improve on this and get a URL scheme so this can be resolved automatically.

Also note that a component that is part of a theme can have its own configuration file, e.g. `config.toml`. There are currently some restrictions to what a theme component can configure:

* `params` (global and per language)
* `menu` (global and per language)
* `outputformats` and `mediatypes`

The same rules apply here: The left-most param/menu etc. with the same ID will win. There are some hidden and experimental namespace support in the above, which we will work to improve in the future, but theme authors are encouraged to create their own namespaces to avoid naming conflicts.

A final note: Themes/components can also have a `theme` definition in their `config.toml` and similar, which is the "inheritance" part of this commit's title. This is currently not supported by the Hugo theme site. We will have to wait for some "auto dependency" feature to be implemented for that to happen, but this can be a powerful feature if you want to create your own theme-variant based on others.

51dd462c39 layout: Respect Type and Layout for list template selection
This commit also has some other nice side-effects:

* The layout logic is unified for all page types, which should make it less surprising
* Page.Render now supports all types
* The legacy "indexes" type is removed from the template lookup order. This is an undocumented type from early Hugo days. This means that having a template in, say, `/layouts/indexes/list.html` will no longer work.
* The theme override logic is improved. As an example, an `index.html` in theme will now wn over a `_default/list.html` in the project, which most will expect.

aa6b1b9be7 output: Support templates per site/language
This applies to both regular templates and shortcodes. So, if the site language is French and the output format is AMP, this is the (start) of the lookup order for the home page:

1. index.fr.amp.html
2. index.amp.html
3. index.fr.html
4. index.html
5. ...

This commit also adds a new command, docshelper, with some utility funcs that adds a JSON datafiles to /docs/data that would be a pain to create and maintain by hand.
