Rene Gollent 326182c3e3 Made DirectMessageTarget's destructor private to avoid potential future
errors. This object should never be deleted directly as it's ref counted, 
only when its last ref is Release()'d.

Axel Dörfler 9dbe170a69 Implemented direct message passing for local targets; this fixes a deadlock
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.
