4994be6e89 Latvian: finally handles PassV2 clauses in a more or less adequate way
Extends the previously introduced support for specifying the verb valence (verb-dependent subject and object cases), involving functions up to PredVP and RelVP.

In Latvian, the passive voice is not used if the agent (subject) is known; to preserve the information structure (i.e. the word order), a clause like 'A is <done> by B' is linearized in the active voice ('A <does> B') where A has the object case (e.g. Acc), and B - the subject case (e.g. Nom). Thus, the verb valence patterns are swapped on-the-fly.

This is still a rather quick & dirty implementation: parameters and linearization types have to be optimized (VerbLav), the use of PassV2 in AdvVP is problematic as it doesn't apply VPSlashPrep / ComplSlash, etc.

eb60a31923 Latvian: added support for double negation, fixed some structural words
Double negation: sebject-dependent - works, object-dependent - still has to be fixed (in VerbsLav).
Structural words: everybody, somebody, nobody.
Both motivated by AttemptoLav.

2148d12164 A major update to the Latvian resource grammar
The case of the topic part of a clause (~subject) can now depend on the verb, allowing for less frequent agreement.
E.g. "man[Dat] garšo pica[Nom]" ("I like pizza").
The default case for the topic/subject remains the nominative case.
