[development] Limited hierarchy generations in Book module

[Earnie Boyd]

> 1) Hierarchies without limits can be built with the Taxonomy module.
> 2) Speed when building the menu.

For outlining I like to use the node relativity module [1].  It allows 
you to bind other nodes or create new nodes as children of a parent 
node.  The UI of the node display provides a menu of the children and 
parents.  A node can be a child of more than one parent.
