these are just a simple wrapper around the `Container` widget, but it's
very useful in situations where bare strings are used in a flex layout,
since e.g. a `Row` with multiple children that are all strings won't get
a proper flex layout (since they're not elements)
So instead of writing
```
Row::new()
.with_child(Container::new().with_child("Text1"))
.with_child(Container::new().with_child("Text2"))
```
one can now write
```
Row::new()
.with_child(div("Text1"))
.with_child(div("Text2"))
```
which is much shorter and more readable.
In addition to the `div` helper also add a `span` helper,
Import the `ContainerBuilder` trait with a different name, otherwise
it conflicts with the Properties macro generated types.
To expose these functions, simply make the 'container' module public.

changes from v3:
* drop 'italic' function, we can decide later if we want that/how we
want to name it
* make the trait import global with different name, and give a better
explanation why it's necessary.
