[Lazarus] Need testers, new Messages window

[t.wieckowski at gmail.com]

Nice work,

what I found for now is:
1. problem with tooltip, only shows after the first mouseover until I use
mouse scroll or leave message window.
2. it would be nice if you can refill window after resize messages window.
3.  keyboard shortcut (ESC) for close "Find bar" can be useful

and last thing that I always want, "messages window" always on top when you
click on message and jump to code (I often work with a partially visible msg.
window).

> - the control can handle much bigger outputs, so you can compile with
>   more verbosity
> - the popup menu of the messages window has new items:
> - The IDE now knows where each message came from and what tool has
>   created them. For example you can see the reason why a package was
>   compiled and the parameters via the "About" menu item.
> - the fpc parser uses the message ids, the errore.msg file and the
>   translated error*.msg file
> - you can switch between English and translation at any time
> - you can search in messages window
> - you can filter for message types and urgency (hint, note, warn ...)
> - choose file names styles (short, relative, full)
> - you can change the colors in Tools / Options / Messages
> - when you insert/delete text in the source editor the messages are now
>   updated in line *and* column number.
> - the source editor shows marks: on left gutter an icon, on right gutter
>   a small rectangle and the token is underlined with a wave.
> - right clicking on the left gutter icon will show the quick fixes
