Parliamentary Item versions improvement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Item versions
-------------

Parliamentary Item versions are "snapshots" in time of a parliamentary item 
i.e. they are frozen and never ever changed.

Problems with current implementation
-------------------------------------

parliamentary item versions seem to have their workflow and states -- they dont 
record the state of the item being versioned.

parliamentary item versions once created have just one "public" state and they 
become visible to Anonymous.

versions dont appear to record the permissions of the item being versioned at 
that point of time.

To do 
------

a) get rid of the current version workflow

b) liberate the "status" field on version records to behave as
expected i.e. to store the status of the item at the time of
versioning

c) simply use the master-type workflow for all permission checking on versions

d) possibly add a versionable="true" attribute on <workflow>, to be
able to declare if a workflowed type is to be versioned or not, and if
it is then dynamically register the workflow as the IWorkflow adapter
for the dedicated version type

Implementation of all 4 points (a) to (d) should be completed in r8483 and the 
various preceeding "Versions refactoring" changesets going as far back as r8364.
