Description:

ToggleControllers redefine some of ButtonControllers behavior;
user interaction: they always triggerOnDown, and ignore buttonrelease.
Finally, every buttonPress leads to a toggle action.

ToggleController adds another actionBlock, since it inherits press-
and releaseActions, while we want one actionBlock to be used for both
on- and off. The actionBlock (if any) is evaluated with the current
toggles state if it expects an argument, or without argument if its a no-arg
block.

Other than that, all model relations are inherited - i.e. if the view has a model,
that one gets change-messages and the toggle updates on aspect changes.

Instance protocol:

 action: aBlock

set the action to be performed. This is called
with the toggles state as argument.

 performAction

the toggle changed its state; first tell the model and
channels, then evaluate any (optional) press/release actions,
finally evaluate my real action, the toggle action.
Individual press/release actions are usually nil for toggles.
