Changing the id of an element

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There should be a way to change the id of the element endpoints are associated 
with, like a 'setId' function, which changes the element's id and reorganizes 
the jsPlumb internals so the endpoints can be attached to a different element. 

Say you have element an element named A with id 'a' and you want to change the 
element to be named B with id 'b'. Right now it loses the endpoints if you 
change the id of the element using something like elem.attr('id','b'); 
Currently endpoints just remain where they were before the id was changed, even 
if the element (B in my example, which used to be named A) is dragged to a new 
location.

this is done in 1.3.7 dev now.  i added two methods to the jsPlumb class:

setId(el, newId)

el can be a DOM element, a selector, or a String.

and

setIdChanged(oldId, newId)

which you can use after having changed an id to tell jsPlumb about it. in this 
case both oldId and newId are expected to be strings.
