Add yet more classes to the basic style

Title:
Add yet more classes to the basic style

Area:
styles

Summary:
Add some more body classes, so we can manipulate both two columns styles at once, or all three three column styles at once, as well as all the styles with a column to the left, and all the styles with a column to the right

Description:
Add tags to body in the following fashion

two column left would now get: .two-column, .left
two column right would now get: .two-column, .right
three column right would now get: .three-column, .right
three column left would now get: .three-column, .left
three column sides would now get: .three-column, .left, .right

This would make writing the css for styles which work on all of the layout options marginally easier and more compact. It would have a slight cost of increasing the size of stylesheets by, um, 10 bits? 10 bytes? Less than an entire kilobyte, anyway.

I'm not sure I see the use but why not? However, if this is implemented, I'm against calling them left and right. This is much too vague. Maybe column-left and column-right?

It would presumably make it slightly easier to convert a style to have a different number of columns.

And yes, column-left and column-right sound like better names.
