Moved material from Analogy edit

The article on analogy had a boatload of material in its Psychology section that was really about Structure Mapping.

As it was way too specialist, too detailed and too big for the article on Analogy, and given its own ear;y section, I have moved it all here. I have added a link to here from the article on Analogy. I will trim severely the information in Analogy.

It is a shame that what looked like useful general material on child and animal understanding of analogy, which would be great in the article on Analogy, was actually, more or less, only about Structure Mapping: so it all went over to here. It may be that some of that material should migrate (shorn of the Structure Mapping specifics) over to the article on Analogy.
