registrar: add support for storing the type of command in func object

This patch adds support for storing the type of command which is going to run in
the func object. For this it does the following:

1) Add three possible values as attributes to the registrar.command class
2) Add a new argument to registrar.command._doregister function
3) Add a new attribute cmdtype to the func object

The type of command will be helpful in deciding what level of access on hidden
commits it can has.
