Layout management and In-Place Page Building [#1698106]

Continuing discussion from #1357908: panels or context for layouts, whether we should use Context or Panels for layout management.

Must haves:
- Ability to disable layout management for artist role (i.e. turn off Panels and Views UI)
- Has a clean upgrade path to Drupal 8
- Safe fallbacks if turned off completely.

This would be a great candidate for implementing via an add-on Feature or App. Ideally it would come bundled with a theme designed to work well with it...i.e. a pre-configured Omega theme + Context bundle.

we are talking about 2 separate features both of which would provide advanced layout capabilities . Both would extend al base features.
