New description:

 Implements free (abelian) monoids whose generators are indexed by an
 arbitrary set. This also moves common code from `CombinatorialFreeModule`
 into a new class `sage.misc.indexed_generators.IndexedGenerators`. With
 this we can now create (noncommutative) polynomials whose generators are
 given by a combinatorial object.

 Also implements a very crude and basic version for groups.

Comment (by tscrim):

 Hey Nicolas,

 I believe there is a ticket about making free abelian groups as
 `ZZ`-modules, and another one about converting between additive and
 multiplicative groups. However they currently don't apply to
 `CombinatorialFreeModule`, and none of the tickets on
 `CombinatorialFreeModule` would apply here as far as I remember.

 Here's a new version which gives a groups version so we can do Laurent
 polynomials. This is not are fancy as the discussion would like, but it
 serves my purposes for now.

 Best,[[BR]]
 Travis
