Log Message:
Implemented "enumerable" criteria, which can list all the criteria they
imply, and have a single "leaf seed" that implies them.  Most criteria
are enumerable, but inequalities and AND-ed or NOT-ed criteria are not.
In the future, indexes will have O(1) insertion time for "flat"
enumerables (like "==" and "is") as long as there are no non-enumerables
in the index.  For hierarchical enumerables, insertion time will be
O(nparents), so for example class criteria will be O(len(cls.__mro__)) for
insertion, and parent-component checks will be O(len(getComponentPath(c)))
for insertion.  (Again, this assumes the index contains only enumerable
criteria; any non-enumerable criteria have to be added to the total O()
figure.)

This checkin doesn't implement those index enhancements, though.  It just
implements the support code for managing enumerability, and consolidates
some of the commonalities between criteria implementations into
AbstractCriterion or other handy base classes.
