[Catalyst] :Template() Attribute

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

When we are at this View refactoring.  When changing the template you
need to put the whole path on stash ( $c->stash( template =
template_path/template.tt) ).  What I would propose is that the view
automatically used the $c->action->namespace as the template_path - so
that you would not need to specify the full path - only the template
name.

This would mean less typing in most common case but also should be
useful when inheriting from a base controller - since it would
automatically adjust the template paths - and that is what you need in
most cases as well.  The ideal would be if it would search the
template directories of respective controller classes in the
inheritance tree - but I have no idea how to accomplish that.
