Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" command
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr" command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6 months from now. This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition period as follows: - The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before - The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility - Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the new "source" command - Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname") have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.

What: "autoscr" command
-When: August 2009
-Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr"

- for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
- removed.

+
+ Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for
+ a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
+ removed. During the transition period existing scripts and
+ environment variable names remain untouched for maximum
+ compatibiltiy; thse will be changed when support for the
+ "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.
