Up to now, opening balance accounts have been identified by means of
fixed names and their translations, which in some cases is not
appropriate.
With this commit, therefore, opening balance accounts can now be
identified by a special slot, which should solve the above problem.
in gnc_find_or_create_equity_account(), when querying the
EQUITY_OPENING_BALANCE type, the system now first searches for an
account with an existing 'equity-type' slot having the value
'opening-balance' and returns it as an opening balance account if
one exists. If no corresponding account is found, the search is
continued as before. An account found in the process is automatically
given the status of an opening balance account (it is given an
'equity-type' slot with value 'opening-balance') to simplify the
future search.
The opening balance status of an account is visualized in the account
settings dialog with a check box. If a Gnucash file does not yet contain
an opening balance account, one can be selected in the account settings
dialog.

The template avoids the need to cast to and from void*, and adds flexibility to
the targeted function's signature.
test-stuff.h defines a macro, "failure" which is used as an identifier
in the standard IO library, so I moved any inclusion of test-stuff.h to
the last include position so that "failure" wouldn't be defined before
the IO library was included.
Since Account.c is now Account.cpp, the function signatures look a bit
different internally. The tests rely on function signatures in error
messages. Instead of trying to figure out what the exact
function signature might be, I use a substring matching strategy to
ensure that the correct error was issued.
This will avoid a ninja-build from picking up a config.h generated by the autotools build
(in the root build directory). Picking up the wrong config.h may lead to all kinds of
subtle issues if the autotools run was done with different options than the cmake run.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
