Send a synchronous message to objects just before they get moved to a
new thread. This allows the object to perform any required processing.
EventNotifier and Timer objects will use this mechanism to move
themselves to the new thread's event disaptcher.

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.

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.

Reserve identifiers for user-defined message types and add an operation
to the Message class to register the type identifiers.

The SignalMessage type is undocumented. Fix it.

Allow signals to cross thread boundaries by posting them to the
recipient through messages instead of calling the slot directly when the
recipient lives in a different thread.

Create a new Message class to model a message that can be passed to an
object living in another thread. Only an invalid message type is
currently defined, more messages will be added in the future.
The Thread class is extended with a messages queue, and the Object class
with thread affinity.
