Added LinkMsgReader::NeedsReply() method.
Completely redone ServerApp messaging: no more "replyport" from BAppServerLink; instead,
the registered client reply port is used. Fixed some more weak messaging stuff.
ServerApp now recognizes if an unknown message needs a reply, and sends it - for example,
the "Screen" preferences app no longer hangs, but crashes on start :)
Made LinkMsgReader::Read() virtual again, since it's needed by RAMLinkMsgReader.cpp.
Renamed BPortLink::GetNextReply() to GetNextMessage().
Some more cleanup.

BPortLink::AttachString() now accepts a length argument, and will no longer
send a terminating null byte; LinkMsgReader::ReadString(), however, will
make sure the string read is null terminated.
Changed client communication code to use FlushWithReply() instead of Flush()
and GetNextReply() - there were many bugs and shortcomings in the code, I
hope I've fixed them all.
Converted ClientFontList.cpp to our coding style (but not completely, the
class members are missing).
Some more cleanup - I hope Adi will adopt our coding style one day!

- StartMessage() can now get a size to make sure there is enough free space
- if StartMessage() is called with the current message behind a certain
watermark, the buffer is flushed in order to prevent moving around messages
in the buffer. The actual value should be tested in real life, though.
- enlarged maximum buffer size to 64k
- fixed bug: could use memcpy() to move overlapping memory around
- added a flag to Flush() that marks messages as needing a reply - the other
way would be to mark the message "code" to contain this information
Some cleanup in LinkMsgReader.
BPortLink now has most methods as inlines.
The buffer sizes are now declared in a shared header, so that receiver and
sender are always equipped equally.
