Allow direct data for include and layout tags#167

Allows passing data as a variable, rather than an object literal, both
for the `{{ include }}` tag and `{{ layout }}` tag.
Since paths can include JavaScript themselves, as in, for example,
`{{ include "./template" + ext }}`, this requires a bit of care. This
solution decides whether the last "word" in the tag is a data argument
by looking at what is in front of it; if it is a quote character of any
kind, or a word character, the last name token is a data variable.
Naturally, there are edge cases. Currently this does not allow for
something like `data.foo` or `data[0]`, but presumably can be extended
to do so.

This allows not only variable-like tokens as "direct data", but anything
not involving spaces or quotes.
Unfortunately disallowing quotes is necessary given strings can contain
anything, and data passed as object literal often contains strings. For
example, `{foo: "bar baz"}` could end up with the regular expression
matching the `baz"}` part, which is, of course, problematic.
