* BView::FillRegion() sends the BRegion data instead of decomposing

it and rebuilding it on the server side (that causes a huge speed
  up for regions containing many rects)
* There is a method in ServerLink that could have been used, but I
  actually needed to add the direct BRegion support to LinkReceiver
* added LinkReceiver as a friend to BRegion class
* ServerApp and ServerWindow keep the CursorManager locked after they
  have retrieved a cursor until they have called Acquire() on the
  cursor. (Axel: what good is using atomic* stuff in Acquire() and
  Release() if we have to protect this by a lock anyways?)
