Added namespace tracking to $compile

[benlesh]

This is in relation to #8494

Things to note:

1. This is a work in progress.
2. This needs cleaned up badly.
3. The commits need flattened.
4. etc.

Basic Idea

Added namespace tracking to the compile process.

When a namespace change is detected, it updates a namespace context object that contains methods to wrap and clone elements appropriately. There is some ugliness where the namespace context had to be ferried around via some monkey-patches to get them into the appropriate closures.

here is a simplified version: https://github.com/IgorMinar/angular.js/compare/svg-transclusion

that version doesn't require passing the namespace info throughout the whole compiler but has a downside that nested transclusion during which we jump between SVG and HTML namespaces doesn't work - this means that the "should handle custom svg containers that transclude to foreignObject that transclude html" test is failing.

Boo! I had that one passing. :P Haha.

So I assume the problem is that when it goes to compile the transclusion
for the outer directive, the inner directive is not supplied the outer
directive's namespace context?
