Allow registration of other translators

This adds an add_translator method to the sphinx application class.
It allows developers to register custom translators (writers) with
sphinx, so other extensions that add new nodes can register support
for the custom translators.

.. method:: Sphinx.add_translator(name, translator_class)
Register a Docutils translator class. This is used to register a
custom output translator. This allows extensions to define custom
nodes for the translator (see :meth:`add_node`). If the name
clashes with an existing translator an
:exc:`sphinx.errors.ExtensionError` will be raised.
.. method:: Sphinx.add_node(node, **kwds)
Register a Docutils node class. This is necessary for Docutils internals.
It may also be used in the future to validate nodes in the parsed documents.
Node visitor functions for the Sphinx HTML, LaTeX, text and manpage writers
can be given as keyword arguments: the keyword must be one or more of
``'html'``, ``'latex'``, ``'text'``, ``'man'``, ``'texinfo'``, the value a
2-tuple of ``(visit, depart)`` methods. ``depart`` can be ``None`` if the
``visit`` function raises :exc:`docutils.nodes.SkipNode`. Example:
