[wtp-dev] DTD component changes for M4

While the DTD component entries in the M4 milestone plan mention 
refactoring and cleanup changes, it understates the scale of the changes 
being prepared for M4.

The DTD component is largely a leaf component contributing to other 
extension points and providing very little, if any, APIs; most of it will 
be made internal as per the naming guidelines.  Additionally, the six 
plugins that make up the DTD component will be combined into just two 
plugins -- dtd.core and dtd.ui.  At David Williams' recommendation, the 
relocated sources will be placed in individual source folders according to 
their original plugin.  Ideally there will be no outwardly visible changes 
beyond the reduction in the number of plugins.  If anyone wishes for any 
part of the DTD component to be provided as API beyond M3, now is the time 
to speak up.  These changes are intended to be committed over the 
weekend/very early next week in preparation for next week's integration 
build.
