New API for BriefTemplate

[Michael P. Jung]

BriefTemplate should offer a simpler API that is not limited because it subclasses platypus.BaseDocTemplate.

template = BriefTemplate()
template.render(document, fh)

A nice addition would be the ability to render more than one document into one PDF file:

template = BriefTemplate()
template.render([document1, document2], fh)

This should be done before 1.0 is released as I want to have a stable API then.

Commit 0211895 removes dinbrief.constants in favor of the new API. Now it is possible to override the constants in BriefTemplate without having to duplicate any code.
