SeasideXUL improvements

Hi,

I did some useful changes in SeasideXUL
(http://www.squeaksource.com/SeasideXUL.html). Here is the list:

- support for latest Seaside 2.8
- Scriptaculous dependency removed
- ajax callbacks do not require response canvas so usage is now very
similar to standard Seaside processing. For example:

       xul button
               onCommand: (xul ajax callback: [
                       |  result |
                       result := self call: XULComponent2 new.
                       self call: (XULComponent2 new text: result) ]).

       xul button
               label: 'answer';
               onCommand: (xul ajax callback: [self answer: 42 ]).

- ajax-based support for an alternative to HTML forms with textboxes,
checkboxes, colorpickers, listboxes, menulists (inc. comboboxes) and
radiogroups. Their usage is very straightforward too:

       formId := WAExternalID new.
       xul form: formId with: [
               xul textBox on: #surname of: self.
               xul colorPicker type: 'button'; on: #color of: self.
               xul button
                       label: 'Submit';
                       onCommand: (xul formSubmiter
                               formId: formId;
                       callback: [ self refresh. ]) ].

Cheers,
-- Pavel

Hi Conrad,

it's only a name for a testing component in the code example. The base
component is named XULComponent and so will be in future too. I
haven't named it XULComponent because this basic component doesn't
have any answer code and in fact, there's a real component
XULComponent2 in the package that is used for call/answer
demonstration. Sorry for confusion.
