with PostMessage() in case the message queue is full.
Some notes:
* for synchronous replies, we don't use this mechanism yet, but it could be
extended to do that as well.
* the code looks so complicated because we need a way to access the looper's
queue without locking it (to prevent deadlocks); like Dano's solution, I've
abused BTokenSpace to store a BDirectMessageTarget with a BHandler.
* we also need to decouple the lifetime of a looper's queue from its target,
as we cannot lock the looper, and therefore, can't guarantee it stays valid
as long as we're accessing it outside of BLooper.
* init_clipboard() now needs to be done after the global constructors have
been called - since sending messages now needs gDefaultTokens to be initialized.
Since this is done per image, it shouldn't cause any troubles, though.
* some minor cleanup, removed unused _msg_cache_cleanup_() and friends.

* Got rid of unused BLooper members
* renamed fTaskID to fThread
* Removed private and deprecated AddLooper()/RemoveLooper()/... stuff; BLooper is now
directly calling BLooperList methods.
* Got rid of extensive and useless comments
* Made a few TODOs more clear
* Merged InitData() and InitData(...) to _InitData(...)
* BLooper::Team() now uses BPrivate::current_team(), sTeamID is gone now.

* attachView() is now called _CreateSelf() and creates the app_server
view counterpart for itself, and no longer for a child view.
* removed superfluous deleteView().
* moved drawing from BWindow::DoUpdate() to BView::_Draw().
* made the recursive hook call functions consistent.
* fixed BWindow::DispatchMessage() to send public messages to the intended
target (instead of always handling them itself directly).
* DispatchMessage() no longer eats unmapped key events that were targeted
at the window directly.
* B_KEY_DOWN and B_KEY_UP events are now send to the target view as well
(this couldn't work before as BMessages were broken with B_PREFERRED_TOKEN).
* the default button is now correctly targeted by BWindow::_DetermineTarget()
(previously, the enter key was hacked to get through via _HandleKeyDown()).
* removing a view now also makes sure it won't have focus any longer.
* also, the DetachedFromWindow() hooks are now called first, so that any
changes made there cannot mess up our window anymore.
* removed BView::SetPattern(); _UpdatePattern() now does its job.
* renamend private methods to match our preferred style.
* removed unused methods and variables.
* more consistent naming overall.
* removed _PR3_COMPATIBLE_ stuff - there is definitely no need for us to be
compatible to that one.

removed. The old static BLooper functions for managing the looper list are
still there, but they are officially deprecated. The approved interface
for this information is BPrivate::BLooperList, accessible via the global
BPrivate::gLooperList variable. Being as it lives in BPrivate, it is for
API-internal use *ONLY*. User apps use it to their own risk.
Also added a small test to make sure that the size of BLooper stays the
same. I will probably add this to other classes as well; doesn't hurt to
be safe. =)
