Infolabels and Boolean conditions

Description

Skins can use boolean conditions with the <visible> tag or with condition attributes. Scripts can read boolean conditions with xbmc.getCondVisibility(condition).

Skins can use infolabels with $INFO[infolabel] or the <info> tag. Scripts can read infolabels with xbmc.getInfoLabel('infolabel').

Todo:

[docs] Improve the description and create links for functions

[docs] Separate boolean conditions from infolabels

[docs] Order items alphabetically within subsections for a better search experience

[docs] Order subsections alphabetically

[docs] Use links instead of bold values for infolabels/bools so we can use a link to point users when providing help
