These replace the objc family of crates, and provide a bunch of improvements on top of it.
Improvements relevant for rfd:
No longer need to call msg_send!, (almost) all methods have automatically generated bindings in objc2-foundation.
MainThreadMarker, allows marking explicitly the functions that must run on the main thread.
Blocks in block2 have correct memory management, you no longer need to call mem::forget.
AppKit bindings are provided in objc2-app-kit, you no longer need to define NSApplication, NSAlertStyle and such manually.
To do this change, I had to change how AsModal works, as it was previously relying on the fact that NSAlert and NSSavePanel just so happened to have mostly compatible methods; now we ensure statically that the correct method is called.
Please do ask if there's anything about either the crates or the code here that's unclear!
