[Shotwell] Source code reorganization

[Bruno Girin]

Hi Jim,

That's great news and will make it a lot easier to navigate the code!
When I have the time, hopefully in the next few weeks, I'll re-organise
the AlienDatabase/F-Spot import code into units. However, this brings a
question: are you happy for me to make an exception to the "one-deep"
nesting and nest an fspot unit inside an alien_database one?

Cheers,

Bruno
