When a translator is uninstalled, BTranslatorPrivate::_RemoveTranslators is
called. This method used to unload the image containing the translator after
calling Release() on it resulting in several problems:
- If the translator was still busy, e.g. translating something while being
installed, it crashed since the image was unloaded even though its refcount
was larger than 0.
- Applications using code from one of the translators (e.g. its config view)
would crash when the translator is uninstalled (this is bug #12005).
This problem is now fixed. The roster keeps track of all translators whose
image it manages (even if the translator was already removed from the roster).
It also keeps a refcount to all images. When a translator's refcount drops to
zero and it belonged to a roster at some point, it does not delete itself, but
notifies the roster that it is ready to destruct, which then removes it from
the roster if the translator is still in it, destroys the translator, decrements
the refcount of the image and if the new refcount is zero, unloads the image.
All of this is done in a message handler, since if the translator called
TranslatorDeleted like before, the unloaded image would be referenced when
the stack is walked up.
Finally, the DataTranslations preflet is required to Acquire() the translator
whose config view it is showing, because otherwise its refcount could be reduced
to 0 and the image unloaded. BTranslatorRoster now enables users to acquire a
translator by ID. By the time the translator has to be released, it might not
be part of the roster anymore though. Since BTranslatorRoster tries not to give
out raw pointers to the translators it manages, users who acquire a translator
through a roster now are given a BTranslatorReleaseDelegate, which allows for
releasing the BTranslator exactly once and then self-destructs.

Can be requested/stopped via BPackageRoster::{Start,Stop}Watching().
The notification message has the what code B_PACKAGE_UPDATE and contains
fields "event", "location", and "change count".
* 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.

part of the view, you can add a BRect "be:area" to that message - very handy.
* Cleaned up AppDefs.h a bit.

translators are installed via BTranslatorRoster::StartWatching().
* Fixed GetTranslatorData() - some hooks are only optional (this puts the
JPEG, GIF, and some other translators back into the game).
* Made BTranslatorRoster::Default() thread-safe.
* Improved documentation.
