The new TUI layout engine has support for "sub-layouts" -- this is a
layout that includes another layout as a child. A sub-layout is
treated as a unit when allocating space.
There's not a very strong reason to use sub-layouts currently. This
patch exists to introduce the idea, and to simplify the subsequent
patch that adds horizontal layouts -- where sub-layouts are needed.
Because this patch won't go in on its own, I chose to defer
documenting this change until the subsequent horizontal layout patch.
