[dojo-contributors] Using dojo.require('dojo.widget.common') for clarity

[Amit Green]

Team,

    Shane has an excellent point:

        Using dojo.require("dojo.widget.*") can be quite misleading to some people, who may think that it will include all widgets.
            

    Therefore, I think changing dojo.require('dojo.widget.*') to
    dojo.require('dojo.widget.common'), as Alex suggested, is a great idea.

    This will clear user confusion, making the code easier to understand.
