Doc reorganization + improvements

- Reorganize several tools (move them to other modules).
- Add new module for map concepts.
- Remove the doc of all tools in lemon/bits.
- Improvements in groups.dox.
- Fix some doxygen warnings.

    35   // \brief Notifier class to notify observes about alterations in
    36   // a container.
    37   //
    38   // The simple graph's can be refered as two containers, one node container
    39   // and one edge container. But they are not standard containers they
    40   // does not store values directly they are just key continars for more
    41   // value containers which are the node and edge maps.
    42   //
    43   // The graph's node and edge sets can be changed as we add or erase
    44   // nodes and edges in the graph. LEMON would like to handle easily
    45   // that the node and edge maps should contain values for all nodes or
    46   // edges. If we want to check on every indicing if the map contains
    47   // the current indicing key that cause a drawback in the performance
    48   // in the library. We use another solution we notify all maps about
    49   // an alteration in the graph, which cause only drawback on the
    50   // alteration of the graph.
    51   //
    52   // This class provides an interface to the container. The \e first() and \e
    53   // next() member functions make possible to iterate on the keys of the
    54   // container. The \e id() function returns an integer id for each key.
    55   // The \e maxId() function gives back an upper bound of the ids.
    56   //
    57   // For the proper functonality of this class, we should notify it
    58   // about each alteration in the container. The alterations have four type
    59   // as \e add(), \e erase(), \e build() and \e clear(). The \e add() and
    60   // \e erase() signals that only one or few items added or erased to or
    61   // from the graph. If all items are erased from the graph or from an empty
    62   // graph a new graph is builded then it can be signaled with the
    63   // clear() and build() members. Important rule that if we erase items
    64   // from graph we should first signal the alteration and after that erase
    65   // them from the container, on the other way on item addition we should
    66   // first extend the container and just after that signal the alteration.
    67   //
    68   // The alteration can be observed with a class inherited from the
    69   // \e ObserverBase nested class. The signals can be handled with
    70   // overriding the virtual functions defined in the base class.  The
    71   // observer base can be attached to the notifier with the
    72   // \e attach() member and can be detached with detach() function. The
    73   // alteration handlers should not call any function which signals
    74   // an other alteration in the same notifier and should not
    75   // detach any observer from the notifier.
    76   //
    77   // Alteration observers try to be exception safe. If an \e add() or
    78   // a \e clear() function throws an exception then the remaining
    79   // observeres will not be notified and the fulfilled additions will
    80   // be rolled back by calling the \e erase() or \e clear()
    81   // functions. Thence the \e erase() and \e clear() should not throw
    82   // exception. Actullay, it can be throw only \ref ImmediateDetach
    83   // exception which detach the observer from the notifier.
    84   //
    85   // There are some place when the alteration observing is not completly
    86   // reliable. If we want to carry out the node degree in the graph
    87   // as in the \ref InDegMap and we use the reverseEdge that cause
    88   // unreliable functionality. Because the alteration observing signals
    89   // only erasing and adding but not the reversing it will stores bad
    90   // degrees. The sub graph adaptors cannot signal the alterations because
    91   // just a setting in the filter map can modify the graph and this cannot
    92   // be watched in any way.
