Add dynamic modules for importing wrapped Tools and Algorithms

aims to tackle #4 (closed)

where I am unsure is error handling.
I disabled from PyConf.Algorithms import *

Also, it would be nice if we could protect against these import in case its not fully functional/datahandly..

last commit depends on gaudi/Gaudi!929 (merged) and implements the sanity check that no tool is instantiated or imported as algorithm and vice versa, so if the gaudi MR takes longer, we can split this off.

Can one check the type of the algorithm, e.g. ask if it is a Transformer?

that would indeed be great, but not yet possible IIRC

in ipython, its possible to autocomplete imports from Configurables, which is lost when importing from Algorithms/Tools. not sure how to get this back tbh. but maybe a problem for later

changed the description

You could try defining a __dir__ method on your module object.
