[osis-core] <blockQuote> and <q>

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

The blockQuote is substantially like the q but has a different content 
model. For example, letters that are reproduced can be encoded as 
blockQuotes with closer, signed, etc., which are not elements of q.

BTW, changed the name of close to closer to conform to TEI.

Will be going through the schema to map everything (that I can) back to 
the TEI.
