New javascript API functions: CloseWindow() and ExitApplication()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a possibility that would be able to close the main window using the 
javascriptAPI? Clicking a link would then close the program.

A solution that worked was posted in the forum:

<button onclick="window.close();">Close</button>
Or 
<button onclick="self.close();">Close</button>

Using window.close for closing main application windowed is not guaranteed to 
work in future phpdesktop versions. We should introduce an official API for 
that, a CloseWindow() method on the "phpdesktop" javascript object.

Implementing CloseWindow() is also a part of Issue 26 "Custom window themes 
with the use of HTML 5".

window.close should keep working for backwards compatibility. A javascript 
binding should overwrite the default implementation of window.close.

It should also be possible to close all application windows by introducing 
phpdesktop.`ExitApplication()` function.
