Provide an entity area handler

Thanks dereine! - Works as expected fine.

Interesting idea.

However, why restrict the plugin to the entity type we are listing. We could show any possible entity type there. So shouldn't the plugin work for all entity types (i.e. choose the type first), thus be defined "global" to all base tables?

The Patch from #5 works also fine for me. Tested on current dev branch and works! Thanks dereine.

Let's call this "Rendered entity" as in other places too.

hm, that didn't work for me. Some ajax was triggered but nothing gets replaced, so view-modes are not reflected.

Nop, I verified I tried it with the right ones.
Anyway, in the meanwhile I have updated my views test installation, now it works!? So maybe it's an issue with old Views versions? Shouldn't be a big deal though, thus committed - thanks! :-)
