a few highlights:
* BLayout now derives publicly from BLayoutItem
* Added BAbstractLayout class, which our layouts now derive from
* updated layout builders to avoid creating views when they don't need to
* updated layout classes
* updated AboutSystem to fix a little regression
* more details on #6407
* please tell me about any regressions, I've tried to find them all, but some
may have slipped by.

the protocoll less prone to errors, reduces possible points of failure and
most importantly, reduces the number of function calls to the link API.
I only know the numbers for StrokeLine(), which I tested via the Benchmark
test app. With this change, drawing random colored and positioned lines
actually doubled in speed. On the BView side, the calls to
ServerLink::Attach() only halfed, while on the app_server side, the number
of calls to ServerLink::Read() is now 1/4th. It will also be worth
investigating why the link stuff is so slow at all. I also optimized
BView::DrawString() a lot in this change, but I don't have any numbers
yet. Some other commands which used multiple Attach()/Read() calls were
also optimized, at least the most important ones. Begin/EndLineArray() was
also pretty bad on the app_server side.

workspaces view can now be any view in the hierarchy.
* Added private view flag kWorkspacesViewFlag that identifies such a
view - note though, that you must not remove a view before closing or
hiding its window for now (and that you still need to set the
kWorkspacesWindowFlag, too).
* Fixed Workspaces check for valid screen coordinates; after a crash, it
managed to open its window offscreen for me.
* Added a ViewLayer method FindView() that finds a view with the
specified flags set.
