Extended Hinting

This pull request represents an implementation for a new hint (aka targeted feedback) mechanism designed to provide a coherent approach to hinting in all of the five most frequently used problem types: checkboxes, multiple choice, drop down, numeric input, and text input. There are four parts to this new mechanism: 

1) the documentation describing how the new hint material will be encoded in the XML representation of problems (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h1cWx24VWkYCdwQEV8rY2Jm1xcZZp6_EQQbzDqbrnks/edit#heading=h.obezscv16esk), 

2) a description of the new syntax added to the simple editor's markdown parser to allow a user of that tool to capture the hinting information in a way which will produce correct XML (see the link above),

3) the code changes which were made to the markdown parser (see problem/edit.coffee),

4) the code changes which were made to the response processing to extract the new hint material from the XML representation and add it to the html presented to the student (see responsetypes.py).
'get_compound_condition_hints' is a virtual method. Just the interface is being defined here. Each of the subtypes will declare a customized version of 'get_compound_condition_hints' 
I know I could rely on 'duck typing' but I guess I've been working in strongly typed languages too long...
