Simplify syntax of modules

Reported by pieterhpieterh

The syntax for modules could be simpler to type and read. Here is a proposal.

The current syntax is like this:

##page parent=""|title="Manage Petition"|tags=""|file="http://packages.wdfiles.com/local--files/package:6/picture-backend.txt"##

How about something like:

##page parent="" title="Manage Petition" tags="" file="etc..."##

Or, allowing line breaks and spaces as well:

##page
    parent = ""
    title  = "Manage Petition"
    tags   = ""
    file   = "etc..."
##

I use explode statements for the variables so it's a little hard. When you have a space in the contents of a variable (e.g. ##page title="Manage Petition" page="test").

The code a above with explode(" ",$pkfile) would return the array:

[0]=> title="Manage
[1]=> Petition"
[2]=> page="test"

However, the following code works:

##page <= Must have a space here.
|page="users:_template"
|parent=""
|title="Badge and User Profile System:_template"
|tags=""
|file="_template"
