[vreg] move base registry implementation to logilab.common. Closes #1916014 A new logilab.common.registry module has been created with content from * cw.vreg (the whole things that was in there) * cw.appobject (base selectors and all). In the process, we've done some renaming: * former selector functions are now known as "predicate", though you still use predicates to build an object'selector * hence `objectify_selector` decorator is now `objectify_predicate` * the top level registry is now `RegistryStore` (was `VRegistry`) Also there is no more need for the @lltrace decorator. On the CubicWeb side, the `selectors` module has been renamed to `predicates`. There should be full backward compat with proper deprecation warnings.

About this site
===============

This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
data selected from the object database using a specific query language.

This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
