Columns can have width set or not. Without setting the width it was computed based on tbody width and number of columns. This method is working well if no column has width set. The disadvantage of this approach is that all columns have the same width and so they are not reflecting their possible usage. Flag columns such as 'external' in rule association tables or various 'enable' flags in search facets can be narrower. If we set them fixed small width it will have different size because this width is not currently added to the computation.
This is fixing this problem so dynamic and fixed width can be combined and the columns have desired width.

Problem:
Rule association widget was displaying standard records with external records in one table. User couldn't distinguish the values. When clicking on the external record link it navigated to appropriate page for that entity. But for external value there is no record to show so it displayed error.
Solution:
* For tables with possible external values a 'external' column was added. It displays "True" if the value is external and nothing if not. Displaying nothing is intentional. If user sees some text in external column he imidiately knows that the record is external without even reading the "True" text.
* Rows with external values don't have a link for navigating to record page. This prevents showing the error as no record exists.
Additional changes:
* Association table widget was stripped of get_records method. Loading records isn't its resposibility it's a resposibility of field.
* Column was extended by possible suppressing of link creation. It's done by optional suppress_link argument in setup method.
* To allow setting suppress_link attribute in inherited tables a new overridable method was created - setup_column.
Posible future improvements:
* Table is using dynamic setting of width for columns. Each column has the same width. For flag columns such as 'external' the width of the column is too big. It would be better to be able to set smaller fixed width and the rest of the columns width (without the width set) would be computed (to fit the table).
* When a table has displayed buttons in its last column header the cells in column header have different vertical alignmnent. It should be united.

This patch works with assumption that user in self-service mode doesn't have rights for enrolling/un-enrolling himself to/from group, role, hbac rule, net group, sudo rule. He can only read the attributes. Therefore in self service mode all user association facets are set read only.
Checkingi and working with the actual rights would require significantly bigger effort.

- facet group headers, error dialog, non-scrollable tables, can manage long names
Size calculation of scrollable and non-scrollable tables was united. Now these types of tables differ only by style.

The DNS records list page was not loaded correctly due to a recent
change in HBAC Test. The page has been updated to use the load_all()
to show all records in the zone.
Ticket #388
The checkboxes in HBAC Test run page have been fixed to show/hide
matched or unmatched rules. The New Test button has been fixed to
deselect the inputs in all facets. The test data has been updated
as well.
Ticket #388
This will allow one to define what SELinux context a given user gets
on a given machine. A rule can contain a set of users and hosts or it
can point to an existing HBAC rule that defines them.

Tables columns have computed width. If value in one column is very long it widens the column and shortens others. This change causes that body columns are not aligned with header columns which makes the table less readable.
Applying 'word-break: break-all' style breaks the word to multiple lines and solves the problem.
Simililar problem is in details facet when displaying text values. Very long values widens the table and a horizontal slider is displayed, which is bad. Applying same solution.
In facet headers and breadcrumb navigation breaking the pkey looks bad - there should be only on line of pkey. To solve this, the pkey is limited to 63 characters (empirically measured). Long pkeys are cut. Uncut pkey is set as a title to avoid losing information.
Whole breadcrump could be about 140 chars (with current styles). 10 chars is reserved for entity link, 60 for pkey the rest (about 60) for parent pkeys. The assumtion is that the parent pkeys wouldn't be so long so they won't be cut anyway.
Column width calculation in tables was iproved. Now it counts with cell spacing, padding, border. It uses these assumtions:
cell-spacing: 2px
cell-padding: 6px th:right, left; td: left
cell-border: th:1px; td:0px
It would be better to get these measures dynamically. Right now it is good enough - better than previous calculation.
Result: data cells are aligned with their header. This alignment fails if vertical scrollbar is displayed (existing problem).
Also added padding to headers in association adder dialog.

Created format method for getting translated messages for boolean values - IPA.boolean_format.
Used in hosts, sudo rules, hbac rules and hbac test.

Summarize entered IPA server configuration so that user can examine
it and stop the installation process in case of error. Before this
patch, user had to know which question is the last one and check
the values he entered in various places during the interactive
wizard.

This is the initial implementation of HBAC Test page. Currently it
can select user, source/target group, service, rules, and execute
the test. Other functionalities to be implemented include the search
filter, external users/hosts, back/next buttons, validation, styling,
and internalization.
Ticket #388
The load() in IPA.facet has been modified to accept the complete
data returned by the server instead of just the result. This is
needed by HBAC Test to access other attributes returned in the
test result.
Ticket #388
The current code assumes that an entity will always have a corresponding
LDAPObject on the server, so it looks for the metadata in a fixed location.
This assumption doesn't work for HBAC Test since it is a Command, not an
LDAPObject, so the metadata has to be obtained from a different location.
A new method get_default_metadata() has been added to allow each entity
to find the metadata from the correct location.
Ticket #388
The table widget has been modified to support single-valued attribute
using radio buttons needed by some facets in HBAC Test. The widget now
uses 'pagination' flag to determine whether to show the pagination
control. The test data has also been updated.
Ticket #388
The json_metadata command has been modified to accept some new
options and return the commands metadata. The API.txt has been
updated as well. The UI has been modified to use commands metadata
instead of methods metadata.
Ticket #388
JavaScript &= and |= are bitwise operators. They are shortened version of:
foo = foo & bar
foo = foo | bar
In some places they were used as shortened version of logical operation and assignment.
foo = foo && bar
It lead to type conversion to Number which is wrong (0 !== false).
This patch replaces such occurances with full version of logical operation and asignment.

After deleting section as a special type of object a new way of defining inter-field logic is needed.
For this purpose a facet_policy was created. It is a simple object with init() method. Init method should contain logic for attaching to fields' or widgets' events.
When a policy is added to facet or dialog its container property should be set to that facet or dialog. It gives the policy an access to fields and widgets.
Init method should be called after widgets creation.

Sections are changed into pure widget objects. Introduced IPA.composite_widget, basic widget for widget nesting (it's using IPA.widget_container). It's base class for section widgets.
TODO: change old custom sections into custom fields and widgets.
Note: usage of section in HBAC and SUDO is kept - whole logic will be removed in #1515 patch.
