[opencms-dev] Add new resources type ??? (bis)

[M Butcher]

I did something similar, but with fewer modifications, since my restype 
was pretty basic.

I created a generic XML type (genxml) by subclassing 
CmsResourceTypePlain in CmsResourceTypeGenericXml. I ended up putting 
the class in the actual OpenCms package since I usually build OpenCms 
from source anyway.

Then, all I had to add were the workplace/restypes/genxml file and the 
icon file. I changed the workplace*.properties files to include 
locale-specific labels, too.

Otherwise, it just uses the same templates as Plain -- which is what I 
wanted.

It shows up along with the rest of the file types, and I can create one 
with the "new" button in the Explorer view.
