[Moin-user] Include text from an external file

[Schwols, Keith C]

I can't recommend this operation for anyone running a public wiki
(unless you put a lot more code to protect what file the user is trying
to include - which is why I still haven't put this up in MacroMarket),
but this is the macro I use on my corporate wiki behind a firewall.

 DESCRIPTION: Outputs the external file's content into page
  [[IncludeFile(externalfilename,<format>)]]

I initially set this up to have a IncludeFileRoot cfg value that would
always be prepended to the user's filename entry.  The purpose was to
restrict including file to a certain directory tree.  This version has
that removed and I just left a comment where it would a good idea to
test the user entry for a valid filename (security stuff).
