Title: Removal of the unwanted View element.

This commit adds support for removing the `Backbone.View` generated element in favor of using the top level element.

To use simply add:

``` javascript
new Backbone.Layout({
el: false
});
```

This tells LayoutManager to treat this View special and to use the children instead of a wrapper. There are some caveats to this approach.

* You should strive to only have a single top level element inside your template.
* You should not rely on `el` and `$el` to match 100% if you do not abide by the first rule.

You can also globally configure with:

``` javascript
Backbone.Layout.configure({ el: false });
```

However, this needs more testing which this pull request does not yet address.
