Organizing variables and custom functions (namespaceing)

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 292

Variables should be stored into folders for a better organization (see
ti_v200_1.png). The functionality would also add a locking mechanism to
prevent some entries from being cleared (supposing there is also a "clear
all" feature). Selecting the working folder could be done through the menus
(ie. Edit > Folders... > {Add, Manage, |, 1.main, 2...., ...}) (see
ti_v200_1.png).

Along side of issue 238, adding new functions could be done in the same
way, into proper folders with locking capabilities to prevent them from
being cleared.

This suggestion does not include having nested folders, but a 1 level
grouping feature for both variables and custom functions. It also implies
that the "main" folder stores the system's constants/variables and functions.

When writing an expression, variable and function search should look into
the following: 1.current folder, 2.main, (3.all other folders in
alphabetical order ascending?).
