Summary: Modularize before working with files and streams

Initial Comment:
Currently, the binder code must do a little bit of
magic for merge modules to ensure that the identifiers
are properly modularized when creating cabinets and
embedded streams.  This is because the Output object
never contains modularized column values.

The wixout files cannot be modularized because that
would mean that some wix variable values would
potentially not be exposed to modularization.  However,
modularization can occur immediately following wix
variable resolution and before indexing the File or
import stream tables.  This would allow the other
binder code to treat the columns like any other values
without paying special attention to whether values need
to be modularized first.  This also allows the
validator to properly match up errors or warnings with
souce line information (something it cannot currently
do because the primary keys of the errors/warnings it
receives are modularized whereas the primary keys in
the Output object are not).  The validator also cannot
retrieve modularized values from the Output object
since it doesn't know the proper modularization guid
(and should have to know it).
