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.
