Toolbar string syntax

Compose a toolbar by combining item IDs with the following grammar:

a,b,c — adjacent items
{a,b,c} — grouped (visual separator before / after)
a|b|c — separator between items
a/b/c — wrap to a new row
#{a,b} — align to the right
a:toggle — split button that toggles on click
a:dropdown — forced dropdown style
[a,b] — section inside a ribbon group

Example:

config.toolbar = "mycustom";
config.toolbar_mycustom = "{bold,italic,underline}|{forecolor,backcolor}|{insertlink,insertimage}|undo,redo";
