Documenting who develops a package

In package.xml 1.0, a developer was documented using the tag inside of a redundant container tag. This has been simplified in package.xml 2.0 both to slightly speed parsing and to make validation of the xml simpler. Now, the contents of the tag has been extracted as 4 tags to describe the maintainers of a package.

In addition, a new internal tag has been added, so that you can honor retired developers' work without having to remove them altogether from package.xml.

WARNING: tag order is important. List leads followed by developers followed by contributors and finally helpers.
