 This makes the [gallery] output more configurable and useful.  Changes
 include:

 * 'Description' (excerpt) is now 'Caption'

 * Captions are displayed below thumbs in the main gallery display

 * Thumb gallery markup is improved (dl/dd/dt for icon and caption display,
 tags are configurable by attributes like [gallery itemtag="div"] if
 necessary)

 * Parent id is selectable, e.g. [gallery id=123]

 * Icon size is selectable, [gallery size="medium"]

 * Column count is selectable, [gallery columns=4]

 * Order is selectable, [gallery orderby="post_title"]

 I think some of these attributes should have a UI, where you click on the
 Insert Gallery Into Post button, but that's not included in this patch.

 The dl/dd/dt method of marking up images with captions is discussed and
 recommended here:
