[ewiki] new _format() kernel finished

Hi @all,

The new so called 'rendering kernel' is almost finished. There are yet some
markup plugins to rework (to take advantage from the new hooks), but after
all I would say it is almost time for a new release.
However, before doing so, I'd like to know if it doesn't break compatibility
with the old one too much ( - really it shouldn't do at all). Therefore I
need some reports, if pages render differently than before or if it broke
things. So if anybody has time to check it out, the recent changes are
available with the "ewiki-CVS-*.tar.bz2" or "R1.01c5" tarball. But beware,
that its current state is still experimental.

enhancements include:
* <pre>...</pre> better integrated
* <code>...</code> same as <pre>, but disables WikiLinking and markup
* <html>...</html> plain html (if _DB_F_HTML enabled)
* <htm>...</htm> also allows for WikiMarkup and linking
* lists entries can now be continued on
  a second line, if started with at least one space
* nested lists now yield proper html (<ul><li><ul>...</ul></li></ul>)
* <p> tags are further only emitted around text blocks
* markup and behaviour can now be configured from global scope (with entries
  in $ewiki_config[])

changes:
* ";:" is deprecated in favour of (and internally converted to) spaces
* only :: is now useable for definition lists (but one could reactivate ;;
  or :; ;:)
* "|" html escape dropped (only <html>...</html> now)
* whole_line markup has gone (tmp?), but headlines are now handled separately
* plugins/markup_code gone
* plugins/markup_paragraphs gone

There are also some comments about the new _format function and plugins
in the [README].
