* en/*/*.xml: Updated all the docs to match the new API. All the nodes
	that no longer have a corresponding member in the type are now
	marked as deprecated. We'll have to wait for Miguel to implement
	this in the browser to stop displaying them.

	All gtype constructors have been regenerated, because of the
	'uint' to 'GLib.Type' change. However, this patch will preserve
	(well, it was regenerated) the customized text for those GType
	constructors.

	A lot of the 'Finalized' methods are also now marked as
	deprecated, because the classes implement 'Dispose' instead. This
	is a possible place for customized scripts to generate template
	documentation, similar to the GType property and GType constructors.

<summary>A Box is a Gtk container that holds an arbitrary number of widgets. This means its sole purpose is to provide layout, size and spacing for other widgets.</summary>
<remarks>
<para>A Box is a rectangular area organized into either a single row or a single column of child widgets, depending upon whether the box is horizontally or vertically oriented, respectively.</para>
<para>A Box is abstract - specific layout containers are provided in its sub classes, including a horizontal box, (<see cref="T:Gtk.HBox" />), a vertical box (<see cref="T:Gtk.VBox" />), and button boxes, (<see cref="T:Gtk.ButtonBox" />).</para>
<para>
Widgets that are 'packed' into a box are considered to be the children of the box, and the box controls their layout. Properties such as <see cref="P:Homogeneous" /> control the layout of all the children in the box, whereas specific packing settings can be applied to each child individually, such as <see cref="M:SetChildPacking(Gtk.Widget,bool,bool,uint,Gtk.PackType)" />.

<para>It is more common to set any specific packing requirements on child widgets when they are initially added to the box. This can be done using <see cref="M:PackStart(Gtk.Widget,bool,bool,uint)" /> and <see cref="M:PackEnd(Gtk.Widget,bool,bool,uint)" />.</para>
