ctools access plugin [#1154204]

Hi there,

attached patch contains an «access» plugin for ctools. The access plugin is used for example in "selection rules" in page_manager variants and also in the visibility rules in panel regions.

What the plugin does is simply check if a context node is in any of the configured queues. An example usage for simple mortals as me: override «node template» page and set a selection rule for nodes in a given nodequeue, similar to the «node type» selection rule.

I'm not so familiar with ctools plugins or panels (read: unfortunately, haven't had the chance to use them yet), but is this related in any way to #559252: Panels context integration ?

They're not related. #559252: Panels context integration provides a nodequeue context (do not confuse with context module): a context for panels is some data that is available to the panel. In the case of nodequeue it is some-data-obtained-from-a-queue (first,last or random node) that can be used in the panel.

OTOH my patch provides an access plugin that is used as a «selection rule» to activate a panel variant when the node being viewed is part of a given nodequeue. Same thing (an access plugin) is also is used for «visibility settings» of single panes within a panel.

I did learn almost all of this yesterday so I may be wrong at some point :)
