Take advantage of variadic templates to implement interface bookkeeping and interface casting

This patch updates the implementation of the interface bookkeeping and casting from the current macros + boost mpl code to use variadic templates.

GAUDI-1099: revert to old behaviour on bad input

warning: enumeral mismatch in conditional expression:
'StatusCode::<anonymous enum>' vs 'IConversionSvc::Status'

fix GAUDI-1099

std::stol is more aggressive than ::strtol when given bad input. This results in Boole failing in the LHCb nightly builds. See GAUDI-1099.

make IStateful baseclass of IAlgTool, IAlgorithm and IService

IAlgTool, IAlgorithm and IService all declare the following pure
virtual functions:
      configure,initialize,start,stop,finalize,terminate,reinitialize
      restart and FSMState
which, presumable not by coincidence, also happens to be the
functions which IStateful declares.

This commit removes those declarations from IAlgTool, IAlgorithm
and IService, and instead makes them inherit from IStateful

Provide (and use) C++11 smart pointer 'look and feel' for SmartIF

The aim of this branch is to confine, for everything that inherits from IInterface,
the calls to addRef(), release() and queryInterface() to the SmartIF implementation.
Exceptions are a few places where interfaces (currently) return bare pointers (instead of
SmartIF...) and where one thus has to addRef() explicitly to avoid returning a dangling
pointer. This can be avoided by changing the relevant interface to return a SmartIF
instead of a bare pointer.

In addition, make SmartIF 'look and feel' like a smart pointer.

- use explict bool conversion instead of .isValid()
- add SmartIF::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to an alternate
    interface -- which (together with move) encourages the use of auto
- add ISvcLocator::as<IFace>(), to return a SmartIF<IFace> to the current ISvcLocator.
- add ServiceManager::service<IFace>() which return SmartIF<IFace> which encourages
    the use of auto

And add a few other C++11 modernizations (eg. prefer STL over raw loop)

extract gaudiComponentHelp from hive

gaudiComponentHelp is a tool to print a help message for a given component.

Fixes GAUDI-1091.

See merge request !17

Prefer SmartIF over bare pointers to interfaces, and the subsequent explicit updating of the refCount

Functions added to GaudiUtils that allow generation of random numbers from integer and string input

Add hash functions with good avalanche characteristiscs to GaudiUtils.

- Header and implementation are QuasiRandom.{h,cpp} in GaudiUtils
- Relevant functions have been added to GaudiPython dictionary for
  interactive use
- Update RandomNumber test to include these functions
- Update RandomNumber test reference

Switch IAppMgrUI inheritance from Interface to INamedInterface and remove the pure virtual name()

IAppMgrUI inherits from IInterface, and adds a pure virtual name() method with the exact same signature as the one in INamedInterface.

As a result, the same effect can be obtained by inheritance from INamedIterface instead of IInterface.  The advantage is that if an implementation (virtually) inherits not only from IAppMgrUI but also another interface which (virtually) inherits from INamedInterface, there is no ambiguity in the definition of name(). With the 'old' code, one has to disambiguate between multiple name() members...
