Add/implement the configuration file changes for the Scenario Damage Assessment Calculator.

I've just had a discussion with Vitor about this feature. This was the original requirement:

"""
In order to incorporate this calculator within OpenQuake, the configuration file needs to support a set of new parameters. The following list describes them:

* flag to indicate that the Scenario Damage Assessment Calculator will be triggered.
* flag to indicate if aggregated damage distributions should be computed.
* flag to indicate if a collapse map should be extracted.
"""

The idea is to always compute the aggregate damage distributions and the collapse map without putting any flag in the configuration file. If the user specifies the "--output-type=xml" parameter from the command line both artifacts will be stored as nrml files. Also, the data will be available in the database to be extracted with the extract tool.

The configuration file for this calculator will be exactly the same as for the Scenario calculator, except for the [RISK] section where we will have a FRAGILITY key (for the fragility model) instead of the standard VULNERABILITY key.
