Make use of $title_prefix, $title_suffix and $title_attributes in Panels titles

I guess Panels could make use of the $title_prefix, $title_suffix and $title_attributes template variables, as suggested in http://drupal.org/update/themes/6/7#title-prefix-suffix.

At least I'm currently using this way (the $title_attributes_array) to accomplish the task of inserting an "id" tag to the title of several panels. As suggested in the previous link, also the "contextual links" could benefit of this option.

The following patch (attached in the next post) is an initial approach (I guess) to this. The main modification is done to the panels-pane.tpl.php template file. There is a clash with the hard-coded class="pane-title" inside the template file. I addressed this by moving out the declaration to the template_preprocess_panels_pane() function, using the $vars['title_attributes_array'].

The patch is done against the latest development version of Panels (7.x-3.x-dev).

PS: Please feel free to ask for any modifications that should be done in order to accomplish this (if you see the whole feature could go into Panels).
