By passing the window pointer to ScreenSaverRunner contructor and using that
to lock the window when drawing instead of getting the window from the
Window() method of the view. This is safer.
Start the screensaver in the window thread instead of the runner
thread so that there is no lock contention for the window lock in
the runner thread when the saver starts.
The view that gets drawn into is assumed to have been prepared before
being passed to the runner thread, and this assumption has been made
true for the screensaver preview and screen_blanker apps.
Eliminate fHasStarted and the corresponding HasStarted() method in
ScreenSaverRunner as they are no longer needed.
Drawing still happens in the runner thread, and still needs to lock
the window thread potentially causing contention, yet, there
is a timeout here so the contention won't freeze the screensaver window,
only delay drawing the screensaver.
Drawing could be moved to the window thread via message passing to avoid
lock contention with the window but this would defeat a big part of the
purpose of having a separate rendering thread.
This fixes#10125 and #4260
If we fail to lock the window in the kInitialTickRate time, quit the thread.
We were deadlocking causing #4260 because you could open several
threads by moving through the screen saver list quickly all trying to lock
the same window at the same time, classic deadlock.
default look for the settings of screen savers without complicated settings
views. This is based on the code originally in the ScreenSaver preferences
window.
Also fixed a type in the ScreenSaverRunner header.

Renamed lots of things, like ScreenSaverThread to ScreenSaverRunner,
refactored code, etc. Much cleaner interfaces and code.
* Fixed a couple of bugs and in the add-on handling, especially some settings
related bugs (ie. testing a screen saver will now use its latest settings,
etc.).
* Correctly implemented DPMS support in ScreenSaverPrefs and the ScreenSaver
preferences application - screen_blanker still ignores them, though.
* It's not yet font sensitive either.
* Changed the input_server add-on to not switch to the screen blanker immediately
when it's in the "blank corner" - doesn't seem to work yet, though (only tested
under Qemu).
* Correctly implemented the "preview" function (before, a screen saver would
never know it rendered a preview).
* Evaluates the return value of BScreenSaver::StartSaver().
* The screen saver thread is no longer killed without notice - it's now
always shut down properly.
* Made the code more robust against failure.
* Introduced some new bugs as well (the screen saver list view doesn't jump to
the selection anymore, for some reason), those will be fixed later (as the
remaining issues).
* Probably some more I forgot about.
