This change is a reshuffle of the backend processing involved in the
aquisition of data from servers including the pull-down and load of
HPKR data as well as the pull-down and load of data from the
HaikuDepotServer (HDS) system. The driver for this change is to
implement an initial implementation of a progress bar for the
loading of data as the application starts.
The following are notable changes;
* Removed some previously attempted 'functional style' logic in the
model which didn't fit well with C++
* Use of the base-url in the logical mapping from HDS and HD data is no
longer required and has been removed
* Some logging has been improved making it clearer which part of HD
is producing the logging which in turn helps with debugging issues
* List class has been modified to more cleanly support sorted lists
and binary searches; tests have also be updated accordingly
* Reorganise and tidy-up of the data-loading processes' structures
* The local repository update (HPKR) and data-load occur in background
processes now in the same system as the HDS data-load - this has been
crudely shifted from the MainWindow to new Processes and incorporated
into the background processing system
* The 'state-machine' background process runner is now replaced with a
'coordinator' style approach that can more easily handle the new
processes related to HPKR loading.
* Progress for loading processes is shown in the main window in the
WorkStatusView - this is flickering a bit, but basically works
* Added some documentation regarding how Processes work in the system
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item now also updates data from HDS
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item is disabled when the background
processes are running that update the repository data
Some further refinement would be good, but this change is large enough
for one round of improvements. There is an issue that the status bar
is used for screenshot display as well as this data-loading, but that
was the case before so it is something that can be dealt with later if
it is a problem.

I need this to use loopers in WebKit, which spawns threads and expects
to be able to turn them into event loops later on.
This is the pattern already used in BApplication, we may as well make it
available elsewhere.

- Use neutral they to make the user (and in one instance, the
'stereotypical lazy developer') gender neutral. Thanks to hacker news
commenters for raising the issue.
- Various updates and clarifications on cursors (not restricted to black
and white anymore), toolbars & about boxes (we now have a standard
implementation for them), zooming (exemple more strongly showing that
it should be "fit to contents" especially on modern high resolution
displays)
- Reword english in some places

* Adds max width and height arguments to
instantiate_deskbar_(item|entry).
* Old applications just stay with a 16x16 scaled icon, though.
* All used apps within the repository are converted to the new call
besides the input_server input method icon (that will need further
API changes in the input_server).

This is the first userguide export on the Postgres-based translation tool
(previously it used MySQL), so please double-check it extra carefully.
(I spotted a few minor problems in the export and fixed the relevant
bugs already.)
This fixes the (intermittently) crashing test added in the previous commit,
and should also fix#12024 and #14348.
Note that this is a slight behavioral departure from BeOS, though since
BeOS crashed when this was done previously, it shouldn't cause any
other problems.

John's revert of my removal commit dragged back a bunch of cygwin/sunos
cruft, as well as re-adding RegExp.cpp to the host libshared, that we don't
need.
Instead, remove this and add libgnuregex_build to just the tools/keymap
link alongside the FreeBSD gnuregex case.
The cached top coordinate of each BListItem isn't updated when you
change the height of the item, leading to confusing highlighting and
incorrect mouse clicks. Rather than fixing it, this just documents a
workaround or two to force an update of the cached coordinates.
Now vaguely follows the tree structure of "src", with the exception of
directories that described subsystems spanning more than one "kit" or
"server" (e.g. "media", "midi", "bluetooth") -- these have been left as their
own top-level directory within docs/develop.
This is the beginning of a large "move developer docs from the wiki
to the tree" operation, which will probably take some time to complete.
The general goal is to consolidate all docs that would be used by developers
(i.e., anyone working on the Haiku tree) into the tree itself. Docs on
getting started contributing, or for translators, designers, etc. will remain
on Trac and on the website.
I've updated the docs to match the current BMailComponent, documented
new functions, and cleaned up the MailComponent.h file to at least
somewhat match our coding style.
First in a series (there are 3 more old API docs on the Mail Kit in that
"Public API" folder.)
It was needed on macOS for a time when BUrl used regexes for parsing.
Now it does not, and so we can remove libshared's RegExp from build
libshared, and thus also libgnuregex.
The Interface Kit is long since "99% functional", so lists of modules
with what's-implemented-what's-not are not really helpful anymore.
The one (rather lengthy) file describing the unit testing system
set up by the IKTeam is indeed useful, so keep that.
Previously when we used Drupal, the icon guidelines there "shadowed"
the ones in this tree. Now that the git-based website reigns supreme,
we should not keep two copies around. I've chosen to preserve
the one in the website repository and trash this one because the icon
guidelines primarily target artists, not programmers (as just about
all other docs in this directory do.)
The only thing of any real use in this directory was the Be Newsletter
article, and the objdump from BeOS R5 (at least I guess that's what it is...)
so I kept those.
