This patch adds new elements <title> and <description> to the Network XML.
- The <title> attribute holds a short title defined by the user and
cannot contain newlines.
- The <description> attribute holds any documentation that the user
wants to store.
- Schema definitions of <title> and <description> have been moved from
domaincommon.rng to basictypes.rng for use by network and future objects.
- Added Network XML parser logic for the above.
