Summary: Uses 'plists' rather than Object's to pass instance attributes
     to Class.make

Bugs Fixed:
LPP-4997 'DHTML: text.format() doesn't work unless debugging enabled.'

Technical Reviewer: a.bargull at intensis.de (pending)
QA Reviewer: philip at pbrdev.com (pending)

Details:
     Using Object's as hashes is fraught with danger because our
     favorite browser has quirks in how it enumerates the properties of
     an object; hence replace all uses of Object/hash in the Class
     framework with a 'plist' (i.e., a property list, i.e., an array of
     alternating key/value entries).

     lztest-class-impl, UserClass: Use new protocol.

     LzLoader, LzMediaLoader, LzContextMenuItem, LzLibrary,
     LzContextMenu, LzKeys, LzHistory, LzGlobalMouse, LzFocus, LzNode,
     LzInputText, LzText, LaszloView, LaszloCanvas, LzCommand, LzState,
     LzAnimatorGroup, LzReplicationManager, LzDatapointer, LzDataText,
     LzDataNode, LzDataRequest, LzDataElement, LzDataset, LzDatapath,
     Replace all calls to DeclareEvent with instance var declaration
     with LzDeclaredEvent initial value.  (We want this anyways so we
     don't have to munge class prototypes at runtime, but it is needed
     in this change because Mixin's no longer store their instance
     properties on a psuedo-prototype object.)

     LzDefs: remove DeclareEvent(s).

     LzFormatter: Make the bootstrap LzMessage class more like the real
     class.  Fix some type-ohs.

     Class, CommonGenerator: replace hashes with plists.

     Class: remove obsolete 'make' and passThrough's.

Tests:
     Test case from bug passes (in IE6)
