Attachment: patch for rm and newfile

- added js/commonbootstrap.js which should contain objects used by
  both the editor and the dashboard. Currently it has _currentProject
  and _files.
- _editSession.project was removed. The global _currentProject object is
  used throughout the js files now.
- _currentProject is set when 
    1) a project is clicked on the dashboard; and
    2) a file is loaded in the editor (like before)
- two commands were added to the dashboard: newfile and rm. If no project
  is selected, a cmdline:showinfo is fired with a warning.
- newfile: from the dashboard, the editor is simply started with the given
  filename. However, because the file doesn't exist yet, no information is
  displayed about the file on the header. This is, by the way, the same
  behavior as in the editor, but it's not as visible because the old
  information is just left there.
- rm: from the dashboard, the only problem is to update the file list.
  Right now, because I couldn't find any other easy way, the list is just
  repopulated with the root, losing your cwd.
- typo (I think): 'dashboard' command now reads "navigate to the file
  browser".

Attachment: commonbootstrap.js

This is a new file that should go in frontend/js/commonbootstrap.js

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: General.

This bug likely still needs to be triaged and categorized.
