implemented a new argument vars in deployment template section

feature: implemented a new argument `vars` in deployment template
section. The
new `vars` argument can get used for define a release template section.
If
defined, the build process will apply all arguments from this section as
they
would be a a part of the project section. This allows to inherit a large
amount of arguments in a project definition instead of define them in
each project. This is usefull if you have a stage and many production
variants
and the instance uses config data like a database setup and you need to
share them. For such a usecase you can simply define a stage and
production
section and define all shared arguments and use the right `vars` section
in
your product deployment setup. See the memcached sample in index.txt

Note, this new product deployment template `vars` argument could be a
problem
for your existing setup if you use a vars argument with a value similar
then
a section name defined in your section template.
