Summary: Include Contact as an asset step

Initial Comment:
>From the Magpie trunk - this configurable change allows you to add contact as an asset step for all content types. Default setting causes no change. To implement the new behaviour,  ccm set com.arsdigita.cms.has_contacts_authoring_step=true

When implemented, all content types have a contact authoring step that allows you to choose any existing contact content items. There are no changes to styling, so if you add a contact to an item, the contact details will be output in the xml, but you will need to update your theme to actually display the contact. 

If you don't want to have a contact step for some but not all types, there is a configuration parameter introduced a while ago that allows you to exclude any specific asset steps from any specific content types. So if you wanted to exclude image and contact steps from Multipart Articles, ccm set com.arsdigita.cms.skip_asset_steps=com.arsdigita.cms.contenttypes.MultiPartArticle:com.arsdigita.cms.contenttypes.ui.ImageStep,com.arsdigita.cms.contenttypes.MultiPartArticle:com.arsdigita.cms.contenttypes.ui.contact.AddContactPropertiesStep
