Change viewlets for links in upper-left box:

• All respective viewlets defined in here now are displayed on every page, not only the homepage. To do this we changed the context and view each of the viewlets is bound to to IWAeUPObject and WAeUPPage. That means, that these links are displayed on all views that derive from WAeUPPage and whose context is of type IWAeUPObject or derived.

• Turned ManageLink into a reusable base class for other viewlets of that kind. This made the other changed viewlets much shorter and now we only have to change one line of HTML code (the ManageLink.render() method) when we wish to change the HTML displayed by all these links.

• In order to make the ManageLink base class reusable, there are now two attributes, deriving classes should set: text and link which tell how the link to create in the upper left box should look like.

• Documented the viewlets with docstrings.
