[GNC-dev] New balsheet (and P&L report), API considerations, and (slow?) KVP in Account.cpp

[Christopher Lam]

Latest iteration of balsheet

  * restored amount-indenting. IMHO this is now producing sane indenting
    for any subtotal strategy
  * restore dual columns (i.e. left=asset/income, right=liability/expense)
  * the above two only enabled when multicols are disabled
  * option to toggle amount/account indenting
  * incorporated bug 623381 recommendations for sections labels/totals
  * added sections for equity, liability+equity
  * modify 'original-currency' display to match eguile report i.e.
    smaller font, precedes converted currency

I would really like feedback on

  * accuracy of amounts
  * accuracy of sections
      o further tweaking of option names/sections/ordering
