Settings branch: show-settings-outline is ready for testing

[Edward K. Ream]

This is #852. Please take a look and report any problems.

Still to do:

- Show why each inactive setting is inactive.

- write-changed-settings command, per Vitalije's suggestion.

Done at 34eb0cb in settings branch. Each node marked "INACTIVE" now contains a letter, as in the show-settings command, showing the source of overriding file.  Examples:

In a theme file:      [F] INACTIVE: @string target_language = css

In myLeoSettings.leo: [T] INACTIVE: @bool color-trailing-whitespace = False

- write-changed-settings command, per Vitalije's suggestion.

Vitalije, if you are willing, I would like to delegate this part of the project to you.

Ok, it is on my TODO list, though it might not happen until some day next week.

Many thanks for this.  There is no rush whatsoever.

I'll be cleaning and refactoring aso.create_unified_settings next.  That's the last work I plan on doing.  It should be finished today or tomorrow.

Done at rev f990eb0 in the settings branch.  I don't plan to merge this into devel at this time.

This concludes my work on this phase of #852.  Vitalije, your questions and comments are welcome.
