* Extend block_manager to handle sidebar blocks. get_available has become get_available_admin_blocks, get_list becomes get_admin_list.
* Create new functions get_available_site_blocks which will look for gallery_block get_available_site_blocks.
* Refactor sidebar_blocks into a separate function and then call block_manager::get_html(site.sidebar). Convert image_block to use block management instead of theme::sidebar_blocks
* Change the block_manager api so that the theme is passed into the get method. convert info to the new sidebar block approach
* Convert the user module to use the new sidebar block structure. remove the installers for info and image_block modules.
* Convert tag and rss modules to the new sidebar framework. reset the version number to 1 for info and image_block modules.
* Change the get_html method to ignore empty blocks and change the individual handlers to return an empty string if no block is generated
* Add a warning message if no sidebar blocks are active and provide a link to the admin page that configures the sidebar.
File_Structure_Test to make sure we don't regress.
According to the PHP docs, the "public" keyword is implied on static
functions, so remove it. Also, require private static functions to
start with an _.

* Refactor blocks so that they have a separate id vs css_id. This way
we can have a unique identifier for each visual block.
* Store blocks with a random id as their unique identifier
* Add Admin_Dashboard::remove_block() and modify
themes/admin_default/views/block.html.php to call it when you click the
remove box.
- And refactor printf to our string interpolation / pluralization syntax
- Also, a slight change to the translations_incomings table, using binary(16) instead of char(32) as message key.
file_proxy. It also means we can stop munging file names in the var/resizes hierarchy.
In the process, rename "thumbnail" to "thumb" everywhere in honor of
Chad (well, ok because it's shorter)..
Create the concept of "page types" which let us specify the kind of
page that we're rendering in high level terms. Currently there are
three page types: album, photo and tag.
The tag page type uses slightly different variables. It has a $tag
but no $item. Adjust all sidebar_block() functions to avoid printing
stuff that's dependent on the item if there is no item.
Simplify the tag code to stop trying to fake an item.
Update the theme slightly to use $item and $tag where appropriate
(notably, for making the <title> element).
$theme->block_type() so that the themer has a consistent interface.
Also added a bunch more callbacks and normalized the names so that the
module author has plenty of options for where stuff gets put on the
page. Especially renamed album/photo/sidebar to be album_blocks()
photo_blocks() and sidebar_blocks() to make it clear that those are
going to be larger content sections and not just basic insertion
points.
Used __call() to collapse all functions in the theme, which
incidentally makes it trivially easy to add a new insertion point.
