Set the Sitemap priorities within the config.ini (SEO)

Feature to change Sitemap priorities direct with the "config.ini" for
SEO. Additionally this commit adds the "lastmod" tag for posts.

- Set the Sitemap priorities for subtypes (Base, Post, Static, Tag, ...)
within the config.ini
- Values beween 1.0 and 0.0 or "false" to disable a subtype.
- Default priority is 0.5 as fallback. (see functions.php) The default
for "base" (Homepage) is 1.0.
- Disabled subtypes aren't available in the sitemap.xml (index).
- The sitemap for posts now contains the "lastmod" set the the post's
date.
