Two kinds of text grid layout

As mensioned before, there are two kinds of text grid layout which are used in CJK users. One is "squared page mode", the other is "standard (rectangle) page mode".

When the style:layout-grid-standard-mode attribute appears inside a style:page-layout definition, then the attribute MUST be ignored.
