[lazarus] Control Positioning has been solved.

[Cliff Baeseman]

Here is how it works ...

All of the positioning code is in the addcontrol method of class tcontrol.

When the addcontrol method is called if it is a container widget a fixed
widget is added to the component. I pass in a pointer to this fixed widget
on the added component that is passed in.
When any of the position stuff is called it uses the passed in pointer to
reposition itself on the fixed widget.

So if I where adding a button to a form it would go something like this

Form -- FixedWidget -- Component

Component.ParentGrid = FixedWidget


Button then uses the ParentGrid to reposition itself
