Extend the llapi_layout API to support composite layout.

- llapi_layout_comp_add():
  Add one component to an existing layout, the layout will
  be turned into composite if it was plain before adding.

- llapi_layout_comp_del():
  Delete current layout component from a composite layout,
  the component to be deleted must be the tail of layout
  component list, and it can't be the last one.

- llapi_layout_comp_extent_get/set():
  Get/Set current component extent of a layout. When set
  component extent, the layout will be turned into composite
  if it was plain.

- llapi_layout_comp_flags_get/set/clear():
  Get/Set/Clear current component flags of a composite layout.

- llapi_layout_comp_id_get():
  Get current component ID of a composite layout.

- llapi_layout_comp_move_at():
  Move the current component to a component with specified ID.

- llapi_layout_comp_move():
  Move the current component to a specified position: FIRST,
  NEXT, or LAST.

- llapi_layout_file_comp_add():
  Add component(s) to an existing composite file.

- llapi_layout_file_comp_del():
  Delete component(s) from an existing composite file.

- llapi_layout_file_comp_set():
  Set certain attribute of the specified layout component(s). Not
  implemented in PFL phase 2.
