Summary0003054: Add capabilites to xml defining proxy properties
Description1. Allow xml to define order in which properties are retrieved (currently, this is alphabetical)
2. Add 'Description' string, describing the property. This can be used, for example, by the UI for 'help'.
3. Add 'Basic,Advanced' attribute of a property. Default value of a property without this attribute is 'Basic'
4. Add 'Label' attribute of a property. This is a string that can be used, for example, in a UI to give the user a better, more understandable name for the property.

These would be great additions to make auto-generated panels look much better.

Documentation elements can be added to any property, exactly like those that can be added to a proxy. The documentation is encapsulated in a vtkSMDocumentation object which provides access to the XML dom. Hence, it is possible to add attributes/child elements for additional information such as "label" etc etc.

eg.
<DoubleVectorProperty name="ScalarRange" ... >
  ...
  <Documentation>
     Specify range to map scalars into.
     Default is [0, 1].
  </Documentation>
  ...
</DoubleVectorProperty>

label attribute has been added for Proxy as well as Property.

Documentation (with short/long help) can already added to proxies/properties.
