Old description:

> Replace the abstract classes in RootSystems (like RootLatticeRealization)
> by categories.
>
> Use it to implement parabolic sub-rootsystems, and parabolic Weyl
> subgroups.

New description:

 - RootLatticeRealization and friends are now categories
 - iterator for any Coxeter group
 - facade option for weak_poset's of finite coxeter groups
 - ...

 Status: the patch is basically good to go. I still want to add coercions
 from the root lattice to the weight lattice and friends; other than that,
 the math review can start.

 Note: the indentation is currently wrong in a couple places (2 spaces
 instead of 4) in order to make the diff small. I'll fix that indentation
 for the very final patch.

 The dependency upon #10963 is trivial, and we could commute the two
 patches to get this one in quicker.
