** [feature-requests:#57] CQPweb: Apply annotation and XML templates to pre-indexed CWB corpus**

When Installating a corpus that's already indexed in CWB, corpus annotation (p-attributes) and XML structure (s-attributes) have to be set up manually.  This process would be a lot less cumbersome if annotation and XML templates could be used to assign names and data types.

The implementation should be relatively easy: it would look up relevant information in the template by attribute name and either ignore everything else or complain in the case of a mismatch.

Motivation: Sometimes indexing a corpus via the Web admin interface is undesirable, in particular (i) for very large corpora (>> 100 M words), where uploading the .vrt file may not be possible and indexing will take a very long time; and (ii) if the corpus does not exist as a .vrt file  in the first place, i.e. if annotation (both p-attributes and s-attributes) has been added to the CWB-indexed version (and CWB cannot export the .vrt format expected by CQPweb).
