[CLA] [patch] dojo.data related: enhance setRow() to allow using a dojo.data item and add getRowByIdentity()

[wolfram]

The grid model for dojo.data is missing some functionality to effectively work with the dojo.data stores. I was using it with QueryReadStore?, to fill a grid on demand. While working with it I fixed the model class a bit. I hope that is the way its meant.

Jaredj may you look at this too, please? It seems that some of your fixes in grid/_data/models.js are along the lines of this patch. thx

adjusted patch to still work after jaredj changed the grid-model in r12038. This patch additionally provides the following features:

• setRow(dojo-data-item, index) - a method to allow setting a row by using a dojo.data-item (a possible case when working with dojo.data-stores)
• getRowByIdentity() allow retreiving a row by an items identity

therefore i had to extract some functionality into setRow(). And there are a couple open issues, if jaredj could look at them that would be great!

oops forgot an adjustment

A co-worker of mine is working on grid problems. I've forwarded this tracker to him so he can see if he's already resolved some of them

Reassigning this to Jared since he was going to follow up.

Suggest assigning to Alex if necessary since he worked on the grid dojo.data implementation.

Thanks guys.

had become obsolete with latest changes in grid+queryreadstore
