Issue
Today, the articles category view still loads MooTools, but it isn't needed anymore.
However the core.js JavaScript file is still needed for the sorting function within the default layout (the blog one doesn't has this).
Solution
Currently, the layouts use JHtml::_('behavior.framework); which loads MooTools together with core.js. So far this was the only way to load core.js while using the Joomla API. With Joomla 3.3 we have now a new method (JHtml::_('behavior.core);) to load core.js which will no longer load MooTools.
This PR makes removes the behavior.framework calls from the layouts and adds the behavior.core call to JHtml::_('grid.sort') which is the method that actually needs core.js.
Testing Instructions
Create two menu items for an article category view. Once for the default layout and once for the blog one.
Make sure everything works as before while MooTools is no longer loaded.
If MooTools is still loaded after applying the patch, you may have to disable some modules or plugins because they may be loading MooTools.
Important: This works only in Joomla 3.3!

Note
Same as #3410 but against staging and rebased.
Thanks!
The blog one probably comes from another place. I have no clue yet 
Set to RTC since we have two good tests.

I created a fresh Joomla 3.3.0 installation, created an article category, and an article in that category.
Then I made two menu items: Category List & Category Blog and set them to the category I made.
I checked the pages, and mootools-core.js was loaded. Then I applied the patch, but mootools was still loading on the Category Blog view.
Patch was tested succesfully on the Category List view, mootools-core.js was not loading anymore.
