features:
* Some cosmetic adjustments of the API, like using references instead of
pointers, argument order, method names, etc.
* Added convenience template methods for archiving and unarchiving to BArchiver
and BUnarchiver.
* BUnarchiver (respectively the private BUnarchiveManager) explicitly deals with
object ownership, now. This is necessary since an error while unarchiving
could leave an already unarchived object without owning object, which would
result in it being leaked. The BUnarchiver::{Get,Find}Object() methods do now
have an optional parameter to specify whether object ownership shall be
transferred.
* Fixed incorrect header guard in headers/private/binary_compatibility/Global.h.

unarchiving protocol to support archival of arbitrary object graphs.

* The BView API can probably be regarded as good enough; the implementation
might need to be improved over time (also, some things as archivability
aren't fully implemented yet). The ToolTip.h header should get public once
finalized.
* Added new B_MOUSE_IDLE message that is sent to a BView after a certain
time has passed (BToolTipManager::ShowDelay()).
* Added small test app (ToolTipTest) that shows what is already working.

* Fixed a general problem with respect to overriding of the reserved
virtual function slots: instead of statically invoking the method
that corresponds to the reserved slot on the class that contains the
slot, we now invoke the virtual Perform() method. Perform() then dispatches
the method invocation to the "proper" class, i.e. the highest class in the
hierarchy that actually implements the requested method.
This fixes a crash in apps that use liblayout's MSlider class and
should fix one or other spurious bug with old apps or libraries, too.
* added new header folder 'binary_compatibility' that contains files that
define the method codes and data structures required by Perform()
* looked for and implemented all used reserved virtual slot functions to
invoke Perform() where necessary or to pass on the method call statically
(for slots that were already maintained by Be)
