CMSPlugin Template Placeholder

A django-cms plugin with a better placeholder tag.

Unfortunately the {% placeholer %} tag of django-cms3 is not an assignment tag. This plugin adds a {% placeholder_as %} tag to address this issue.

Additionally, we also thought that it would be cool to allowed the use of any templatetag in Placeholder fields. This is extremely useful when linking via the {% url %} tag, for example.
