Portlets Generic Setup syntax changes

The syntax for limiting portlets to a certain type of manager has changed.

The original format for limiting a portlet to a certain type of manager was:

<portlet addview="portlets.BBB" 
         title="Foo" 
         description="Foo" 
         for="plone.app.portlets.interfaces.IColumn" />

but this form was deprecated in Plone 3.1 to allow multiple values in the for field. In Plone 4 the required form is:

<portlet title="Foo" 
         addview="portlets.New" 
         description="Foo">
    <for interface="plone.app.portlets.interfaces.IColumn" />
    <for interface="plone.app.portlets.interfaces.IDashboard" />
</portlet>
