03e5dd5273 Fix documentation for BMessage::Previous
The function allocates a message because it uses lazy initialization,
however the user does not get ownership and must not delete it.

Fixes #14413.

7f9368cae5 Set*UIColor, etc.
The inseparable changes necessary to support live color updating across the
system in a sane, safe, and performant manner.

BView gains:

HasSystemColors()
HasDefaultColors()
AdoptSystemColors()
AdoptParentColors()
AdoptViewColor(BView*)
SetViewUIColor(color_which, float tint)
SetHighUIColor(...
SetLowUIColor(...
ViewUIColor(float* tint)
HighUIColor(...
LowUIColor(...
DelayedInvalidate()

BWindow gains a simple helper method:
IsOffscreenWindow()

BMessage gains:

AddColor()
FindColor()
GetColor()
HasColor()            * allegedly this API is deprecated, but I implemented it anyway
ReplaceColor()
SetColor()

Previous private ColorTools methods are made public and moved into GraphicsDefs:

mix_color, blend_color, disable_color

These are fully compatible with BeOS dan0 R5.1 methods and are just code cleanup
of BeOS example code under the OpenTracker license.

In addition, four new colors are created:
B_LINK_TEXT_COLOR
B_LINK_HOVER_COLOR
B_LINK_ACTIVE_COLOR
B_LINK_VISITED_COLOR

These changes are documented in their proper user documentation files.

In addition, due to a history rewrite, B_FOLLOW_LEFT_TOP has been defined and
used in lieu of B_FOLLOW_TOP | B_FOLLOW_LEFT and is included in this commit.

On the app_server side, the following has changed:

Add DelayedMessage - a system by which messages can be sent at a scheduled time,
and can also be merged according to set rules.  A single thread is used to service the
message queue and multiple recipients can be set for each message.
Desktop gains the ability to add message ports to a DelayedMessage so that
said messages can target either all applications or all windows, as needed.

Desktop maintains a BMessage which is used to queue up all pending color changes
and the delayed messaging system is used to enact these changes after a short
period of time has passed.  This prevents abuse and allows the system to merge
repeated set_ui_color events into one event for client applications, improving
performance drastically.

In addition, B_COLORS_UPDATED is sent to the BApplication, which forwards the message
to each BWindow.  This is done to improve performance over having the app_server
independently informing each window.

Decorator changes are live now, which required some reworking.

207212972e BMessage: remove unimplemented GetPointer from headers and docs
* This was never implemented and no one noticed until now.
* A default value for a pointer doesn't make that much sense anyway, so
using the FindPointer method is fine.

ac9714d8a4 Update App Kit Documentation.
The biggest change is the addition of \since to each method. I've gone
through old versions of the BeBook and documented what version of BeOS
each method was introduced in. I'm only counting production releases
so I'm starting with BeOS R3 ignoring all DR and PR releases. Likewise,
all methods new to Haiku are listed as being introduced \since Haiku R1
ignoring alpha releases.

6e8749b27f Update BMessage documentation adding Get* methods.
Also, lots of little cleanups: formatting, adding return statements and
return values where they were missing, fix spelling mistakes, add newlines to
separate command blocks, remove trailing whitespace.

a33f8fbdec Merge work by John Scipione on the Haiku Book.
* Some new classes documented
 * Screenshots for the interface kit controls
 * A lot of typo fixes
 * Some css tweaks

This has some backporting to the current version of Doxygen, since 
there are experiments to get coloring similar to the one in the Be 
Book that will hopefully be upstreamed in Doxygen.
