[Lazarus] SendMessage Bug Work Around.

Hello Lazarus-List,

Well, WM_COPYDATA is the only way to do it in windows, but LCL
SendMessage is not Windows SendMessage. Lazarus LCL SendMessage is
designed to work with Lazarus LCL, as it must be cross platform. If
you need WM_COPYDATA then:

uses ..., Windows;

Windows.SendMessage(.....)

As only in Windows you can "SendMessage" to other process. In resume,
LCL SendMessage is to the LCL application (current only) and Windows
SendMessage is only for Windows systems.
