stores state in Dom node

Parameters:

layerElement	is a Dom element corresponding to ``maplayer'' tag
document	is a the dom document being written

Note:

The Dom node corresponds to a Dom document project file XML element to be written by QgsProject.

This, in turn, calls writeXml(), which is over-rideable by sub-classes so that they can write their own specific state to the given Dom node.

Invoked by QgsProject::write().

Returns:: true if successful
