4da75dd4d3 bus protocol change: special handling for reset state marks
- suppres sending redundant stat mark messages from MockElm
- emit a "reset" state mark when an actual reset happens
- let the PresentationStateManager discard recorded special state
  when receiving a "reset" mark for a given element

26d0f50e47 state mark handling within the base element: unit test PASS
...and I made the decision *not* to consider any kind of
generic properties for now. YAGNI.

UI coding is notorious spaghetti code.
No point in fighting that, it is just the way it is,
because somewhere you're bound to get concrete, hands-on.

603f9e2b7d DOC: fix some Doxygen link syntax
I worked under the erroneous assumption, that Doxygen
will use its internal entity-IDs as the link-IDs when
generating mardown-links. Yes, this seemed logical and
this would be the way I'd implement it....

But seemingly, Doxygen is not so consistent when it
comes to questions of syntax. The same holds true for
markdown, which lacking a coherent definition anyway.

Another problem is that Doxygen's auto-link generation
frequently fails, for reasons not yet clear to me.
Sometimes it seems to be necessary to give it a nudge
by including the \ref command. While I'm not willing
to go into focussed invstigation of Doxygen syntax
right now, at least I've done a search-and-replace
to remove the malformed links I've written the
last days

dddcbe9994 DOC: supply basics of UI-Bus and generic UI-element protocol
the initial draft of this concept is in place now, and
the first round of unit tests pass. I've got some understanding
of the purpose of the interactions and involved elements
and I'm confident this design is evolving in a sane way.

Note: extensive documentation is in the TiddlyWiki,
here I've just pasted and reworded some paragraphs from there
and integrated them into the Doxygen docs

9aa1fec369 UI-Element protocol: clarify the role of the doExpand() extension point
and let the concrete extension point decide if the corresponding
state change was actually relevant and should be persisted
