Description

The repoinit "create path" statement currently supports nodetypes but no mixins, we should add support for them.

The current create path syntax is like

create path (sling:Folder) /var/discovery(nt:unstructured)/somefolder
create path /one/two/three
create path /three/four(nt:folk)/five(nt:jazz)/six

Where the first bracketed statement, before the path, is the default nodetype for all subpaths, and each subpath can have a specific nodetype.

To add mixin support I suggest the syntax of these examples for these bracketed statements:

(sling:Folder mixin mix:A, mix:B)
(nt:unstructured mixin mix:C)
(mixin mix:A)
(mixin mix:A, mix:B)

The last two forms without a nodeteype meaning "set mixins only but keep the default nodetype", which in this example

create path (sling:Folder) /var/foo(mixin mix:B)

means /var/foo is of type sling:Folder with mixin mix:B

whereas in this example

create /var/bar(mixin mix:C)

/var/bar uses the default type defined by /var's type, with mix:C added.
