Title: Rendering modularization

Hi!

This is a pretty big pull request that refreshes the rendering architecture. With this patch:
* JBake uses an internal, potentially in memory, database to store documents converted from markup engines
* if using a local dabatase (default), then JBake now only renders pages that have changed
* rendering can be forced using the --reset command line option
* rendering will be forced if the templates change
* separation of the template engine from core, making Freemarker optional
* added an alternative, optional, Groovy template engine
* template engines have access to the database, which means they can optimize memory usage (depending on the underlying engine, more difficult to do with Freemarker)
* "index", "archive", "feed" are now considered as document types, meaning you can use them as you would use "page" or "post"
* tags are still rendered with special handling
* support for custom document types. The list of document types is extracted from the configuration file (template.[doctype].file

Comments welcome!
