Ichthyostega dfcb17b890 GUI: close out rework of top-level and timeline 
This finishes a long lasting effort to rework the top-level of the Lumiera GTK UI,
to adapt to GTK-3 and the new asynchronous message based architecture.

Special credits and thanks to
 * Joel Holdsworth
 * Stefan Kangas

Without their relentless foundational work, the Lumiera UI could
never be where it is now. Even if some code was rewritten and several
parts of the old GTK-2 implementation are now obsolete, numerous ideas
solutions and inspirations were drawn from those early contributions
and live on as part of the reworked GUI.

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
