latex2e: Handle classes for bullet lists

For example authors could customize documents as follows:

.. class:: compact

\- item 1
\- item 2
\- item 3

and expect the writer to apply the class. This works for html writer,
but not yet for latex2e/xetex and that's why this patch is here.

Usual rules for customizing rendering for classed elements is done - for
class \`compact\`, if stylesheet provides an environment named
DUitemizecompact, it will be used, otherwise the default itemize.

Personally, for compact lists I use

\newenvironment\{DUitemizecompact\}\{%
\begingroup%
\small%
\begin\{itemize\}%
\itemsep=0pt\parskip=0pt%
\}\{%
\end\{itemize\}%
\endgroup%
\}

which make text a bit smaller and tightens inter-line gaps.

NOTES:

\* There is no \provideenvironment in LaTeX, so plain \newenviroment is used.
\* The implementation of DUitemize environment is a bit cumbersome.
That's because it is not possible to pass arguments to
end<something> when defining environments and because my TeX foo is
probably not high enough. \(help appreciated\)
\* I've patched the code to emit \begin\{DUitemize\} only when classes
attrubute is present - only to minimize changes to tests, for the
patch not being huge with low signal/noise ratio.
