Use standard list environment for publications

[joel-coffman]

Rather than defining a custom list environment (which matches a traditional bibliography), the resume package could simply use enumerate in conjunction with the enumitem package to format labels. Such an implementation would be much clearer and easier to maintain.

Proof-of-concept implementation:

The downside (or advantage, depending on how one looks at it) of using the enumerate environment is that any options specified globally using the enumitem package also apply to the list of publications.
