FS#604 - move reference element related stuff to separate module

Does anybody have a good idea how to move the GeometryType?  All the other
stuff is relatively straight forward.  My best approaches are:

 1. Move everything GeometryType-related to Dune-Geometry and leave
    compatibility headers with a deprecation warning in Dune-Common.  These
    headers include the real stuff from Dune-Geometry.  This is ugly because
    it means Dune-Common includes stuff from a module it can't depend upon.

 2. Move everything GeometryType related to Dune-Geometry and have
    compatibility headers <dune/common/geometrytype.hh> etc. *inside*
    *Dune-Geometry*.  This is ugly because it means that Dune-Geometry
    infridges on Dune-Common's namespace.  Also, to anybody who isn't
    automatically using Dune-Geometry it will look like
    <dune/common/geometrytype.hh> simply vanished without any real clue what
    has been going on.

Since most users are likely to use Dune-Localfunctions or Dune-Grid,
dunecontrol will tell them they need Dune-Geometry, so everything should work
seamlessly for both approaches in the vast majority of cases.
