WidgetPath.appendWithSiblings

Appends a widget type with all its siblings to the widget hierarchy represented by path. Using this function instead of Widget.pathAppendType will allow the CSS theming to use sibling matches in selectors and apply :nth-child() pseudo classes. In turn, it requires a lot more care in widget implementations as widgets need to make sure to call Widget.resetStyle on all involved widgets when the siblings path changes.
