User specific interface

Design: User specific interface

The idea is to extend and make more visible the different types of users in XWiki (for the moment : basic/advanced). When creating a new user, this type would not be set. If the context user has no type set something like this would appear on Main.WebHome :

Hey there! Welcome to XWiki!
First, please tell us what kind of wiki user your are (click on the corresponding box) :

----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------
| Wiki novice         | | Wiki expert         | | Wiki developer      |
|                     | |                     | |                     |
| I've never used a   | | I know what minor   | | I want to see the   |

If the user has the Admin rights the administration section will always been displayed no matter the user type he choosed.
