ConnectionTypeBlocking always invokes the method through inter-thread
message passing, which results in deadlocks if the sender and receiver
live in the same thread. The deadlock can easily be avoided by turning
the invocation into a direct call in this case. Do so to make
ConnectionTypeBlocking easier to use when some of the senders live in
the same thread as the receiver while the other senders don't.
Extend the object-invoke test to cover this usage.
While at it reformat the documentation to avoid long \brief lines.

Now that we're using C++-14, drop utils::make_unique for
std::make_unique.

Propagate the return value of the bound method all the way to the caller
of activate(). The value is stored in the arguments pack for indirect
invocation.
As C++ doesn't allow instantiating a variable of type void, we need to
specialize the template class BoundMethodPack for methods returning
void. This in turn requires template specialization for the
BoundMethodArgs class in order to store the return value in the pack,
and for the BoundMemberMethod class to extract the return value from the
pack.

The bound method arguments pack will need to be accessed by the method
invoker in order to retrieve the method return value when using a
blocking connection type. We thus can't delete the pack unconditionally
in the bound method target thread. We also can't delete it
unconditionally in the invoker's thread, as for queued connections the
pack will be used in the target thread after the invoker completes.
This shows that ownership of the arguments pack is shared between two
contexts. As a result, manage it using std::shared_ptr<>.

When BoundMethodBase::activatePack() is called with the connection type
set to ConnectionTypeDirect, the method isn't deleted even if
deleteMethod is true, as is the case when called from
Object::invokeMethod(). This causes a memory leak. Fix it.

The BoundMethodBase::activatePack() and the internal
Object::invokeMethod() are duplicate implementation of the same
mechanism. Use the former to replace the latter.

Support all connection types in the BoundMethodBase::activePack()
method. To support this, add a semaphore to the InvokeMessage to signal
delivery.

Add a helper invokeMethod() to the Object class that allows asynchrnous
invocation of any method of an Object instance. Asynchronous invocation
occurs when control returns to the event dispatcher of the target
object's thread, in the context of that thread.
To support this, generalise the SignalMessage implementation to support
automatic deletion of the associated BoundMethod, and rename the message
to InvokeMessage to reflect the more generic purpose.

To make the BoundMethod classes more generic, replace direct access to
private member from Signal classes with accessors or helper functions.
This allows removal of friend statements from the BoundMethod classes.

Move the Slot* classes to bound_method.{h,cpp} and rename them to
Bound*Method*. They will be reused to implement asynchronous method
invocation similar to cross-thread signal delivery.
This is only a move and rename, no functional changes are included.
