[asdf-devel] asdf output locations

[Faré]

My plan for ASDF 1.600 is to rename the (recently) builtin
asdf-binary-locations to asdf-output-locations and make a few
incompatible changes to it.
* These changes will allow for configuration through an API similar to
the one I introduced for the source-registry in 1.500.
* I don't think many people use bleeding-edge enough ASDF to have the
builtin ABL and these kinds of people would easily adapt anyway
* This API will allow the future common-lisp-controller to plug nicely
into ASDF through a supported API that doesn't break other stuff and
isn't broken by it.
* It will also bring all the binary location advantages of
asdf-binary-locations, common-lisp-controller or CL-launch to everyone
with a single, well-documented, supported configuration mechanism.

I committed the following document to explain my current plans, and
would appreciate comments:
