Be able to grab the rendered contents of individual layouts

[balupton]

Right now, if we want to include the rendered content of a particular layout (but not all of them) in a content listing then we have to move that layout into a partial and include it in the document's content - as we either have document.contentRendered that includes the rendered content of all layouts, or document.contentRenderedWithoutLayouts with no layouts - nothing in between

It would be nice to have something like document.contentRenderedWithLayout as an object containing the rendered content of each layout inside it, as well as an array of the order. So we could do document.contentRenderedWithLayout.page to fetch the data of the page layout (wraps the content in an article) and not with the default layout (wraps the content in html structure). We could also do document.contentRenderedWithLayout[0] to get the first layout rendered perhaps.

This would allow us to do something like this:

<h2>Posts:</h2>
<ul><% for post in @getFilesAtPath('posts/').toJSON(): %>
    <li>
        <%- post.contentRenderedWithLayout.page %>
    </li>
<% end %></ul>

Would output this:

<h2>Posts:</h2>
<ul>
    <li>
        <article>
            <h1>Post 1</h1>
            <div>Post 1 data</div>
        </article>
    </li>
    <li>
        <article>
            <h1>Post 2</h1>
            <div>Post 2 data</div>
        </article>
    </li>
</ul>
