Summary	0011473: [patches] Events to add new custom field types via Plugin and other improvements
Description	1) As the custom field API (cfdefs and so on) is not easy to customize, we added certain new events to be able to add custom field types simply via a plugin. 2) Additionally we modularized one function of the plugin API to be able to better reuse some functionality when creating composite-custom-fields. This does not touch the functionality of the plugin API in any way. 3) We added the size-property for the custom string field to not always need to have these biiiig boxes, even when only a short input is expected.
Additional Information	Background: We developed a plugin (http://git.mantisforge.org/w/TableField.git) to add a new custom field type that allows to enter tabular information (currently a list of items with prices, suppliers -- but we tried to keep it flexible for further improvements)
Tags	No tags attached.
