It allows to launch the app, but keep its main thread suspended instead
of automatically resuming it.
Also add appThread argument which allows to retrieve the main thread of
the launched team.
* BRoster now allows settings a "no-registrar" mode that is currently
only honored in _LaunchApp(), though.
* Job::Launch() is now using this, which also allows launching
applications by signature (ie. if the job name matches the
signature, you can omit the "launch" option).
Switcher now works as expected.
* Renamed TRoster::ActivateApp() to UpdateActiveApp(), as the app is already activated
at that point (the registrar only keeps track of it).
* BWindow::DispatchMessage() now calls the new BRoster::Private::UpdateActiveApp()
method when it receives a B_WINDOW_ACTIVATED message.
* Added BRoster::_UpdateActiveApp() which calls the new B_REG_UPDATE_ACTIVE_APP.
* Removed now unused B_REG_ACTIVATE_APP.
* Minor cleanup.

in several steps:
1. early pre-registration with the registrar ("I wanna launch the
app, make sure noone interferes.")
2. load the app image
3. finish pre-registration with the registrar ("I have launched
the app, here is its team ID.")
4. start app main thread
5. send "on launch" messages to the app (argv, refs, others)
If the app is already running or being launched, 1. fails with a
conclusive error code and returns the team ID and the pre-registration
token of the app. Steps 2 - 4 are skipped and only the messages are
delivered using the team ID returned by 1.
This change fixes a race condition: The failed early pre-registration
request obviously cannot return the team ID, if the other thread
launching the app has not finished step 3 yet. Thus the argv/refs
message would not get delivered and Launch() would not return the
correct team ID.
Now we wait for the pre-registration to be finished in this case, using
the former _IsAppPreRegistered() mechanism, which already provided
such a waiting feature for one request. It has been extended to
accomodate an arbitrary number of waiting requests and renamed to
_IsAppRegistered().
This fixed bug #763.

when enabled, and B_NORMAL_WINDOW_FEEL when disabled. IOW when enabled, no
other windows can interfere.
* Therefore, it's no longer necessary to have the screen_blanker window
use kWindowScreenFeel - it will set its window to full screen as long
as the blanker runs.
* Added a AS_APP_CRASHED notification in the app_server that will remove
all kWindowScreenFeels from the windows of the crashed app.
* This is now used by the debugger to ensure that the debugger alert will
be visible.
* Factored out a DesktopLink class out of the BRoster::_ActivateApp()
method. This class is now also used in the new BRoster::_ApplicationCrashed()
method as used in the debug_server (via BRoster::Private).

Deskbar to initiate the shutdown process asynchronously. Couldn't test it,
because opening the Be menu doesn't work:
***PANIC: BW: Can't find view with ID: 19 !***

* Adjusted the shutdown command to use BRoster::ShutDown(). Removed
the alert.
