GNUStep now has badges

Finally I got around implementing and committing badge support in
GNUStep! I think it is one of the fine additions Apple did to the
original OpenStep spec

While Apple had it since MacOS 10.5, GNUstep didn't and GNUMail had
to manage 3 different code paths: One for GNUstep, one for 10.4 Mac
and one for 10.5 and later which I implemented myself, since GNUMail
originally didn't have it. First, I with Fred and Richard brought up
GNUmail code to match the 10.4 code path, which is generic and just
draws the Icon. To do this, I had to change the code, since ImageReps
are not writable in GNUstep, so NSCustomImageRep had to be used and
it woks both on GNUstep and on Mac.


Later, proper badges support has been added in GNUstep, here the look
with GNUMail and with a small test application, which is ported
directly from Mac and compiled using xcode buildtool.

As we were tried to match certain Apple behaviours, like ellipsis,
but also an addition: I made the colors themable.

Here a nice screenshot of the two things working with the Sonne theme
. Thematic was enhanced to handle the badgeColor with its three
shades matching the ring, text and badge background.
