git-gui: Teach class system to support [$this cmd] syntax

Its handy to be able to ask an object to do something for you by
handing it a subcommand.  For example if we want to get the value
of an object's private field the object could expose a method that
would return that value.  Application level code can then invoke
"$inst get" to perform the method call.

Tk uses this pattern for all of its widgets, so we'd certainly
like to use it for our own mega-widgets that we might develop.
Up until now we haven't needed such functionality, but I'm working
on a new revision picker mega-widget that would benefit from it.

To make this work we have to change the definition of $this to
actually be a procedure within the namespace.  By making $this a
procedure any caller that has $this can call subcommands by passing
them as the first argument to $this.  That subcommand then needs
to call the proper subroutine.

Placing the dispatch procedure into the object's variable namespace
ensures that it will always be deleted when the object is deleted.
