Effects: New jQuery-ui effects.text

[seankoole]

As mentioned in  https://github.com/paulirish/lazyweb-requests/issues#issue/4 jQuery UI should have more text effects.

The following text effects would be a great addition to the jQuery UI effect set:  http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/fx/tests/test_text.html

We have discussed the implementation and have decided that we should probably make a new type of effects for textEffects since they don't behave at all like standard effects...

.showText("effectName", options);
.hideText("effectName", options);
.toggleText("effectName", options);

// not sure if we would ever need this, but the "show", "hide" and "toggle" can just be "modes" of the same "effect"
.effectText("effectName", options);

Also, we should try and tackle the potential issue with the "destruction" of the text when it hides... How do we store it if we wanted a toggle? Do we care?

There is also some discussion on this topic here:  http://forum.jquery.com/topic/text-effects

I picked up this branch and merged it with the effects-api changes from http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/7060 - I can file a fresh pull for it after the fate of 7060 is decided...
