* Cleared up a misconception in the notification mechanism. We already had

methods that used an "event mask" field. There was no need to introduce
  a "flags" field for the same purpose.
* Renamed protected DefaultNotificationService methods (removed "_" prefix).
* Adjusted the code providing a notification service accordingly.
* Changed the event message several notification services generated by renaming
  the "opcode" field to "event".
* Implemented the TEAM_ADDED event and also added a TEAM_EXEC event.
* Added notifications for threads and images.
* Added visitor-like iteration functions for teams, threads, and images.
