+Enhancement: additional route meta props
+
+The route meta prop has been extended by two new properties:
+- Routes can now be defined with a "meta.authContext" (one out of "anonymous", "user", "publicLink" or "hybrid"). With this app developers can now define anonymous routes, which was hardcoded to a few well known route names before.
+- The page layout can now be selected via "meta.pageLayout" (one out of "plain", "loading" or "application"). This gives app developers the choice of rendering an application with the application chrome (i.e. topbar and content-area with rounded corners) or in a plain layout with just the background image defined by the theme. The "loading" layout is for now only used internally, but exposed as well so that one can make use of it if a use case comes up.
