[xsl] Improve templates for different identification & rendering of same name XML elements differently based on location in tree

Improve templates for different identification & rendering of same name XML
elements differently based on location in tree

Details about the original Springboard .plist XML structure is outlined &
attached below:

ist

I simplified matches, by replacing few "repeating name" elements with
"distinct" names
- Root: <plist> - remains as it is
- Outer <dict> by <all> - Represents all: Pages, Folders, Apps
-- 1st level <array> by <pages>
--- 2nd level <array> by <page>
----- Inner: <dict> remains same - Represents Folders inside Pages
XSL - Leverages the modified elements to create diagnostic dashboard

Some Flaws/ Gaps:
- Need help to rewrite the templates with more XSL knowledge (havent coded in
10 yrs) without needing the above "substitutions"
- Need help to apply/ format "non folder" Apps <strings> differently than
"folder" apps
- Need help to iterate Page Numbers Count - Represented by <page> element
