Refactor UI components into Connection-based classes about owl HOT 1 CLOSED

Update

The content view is now a generic QWidget that can be added to the forumTopStack which is in the MainWindow.ui file. I removed the default objects and now the board objects are added, as well as a OwlWebBrowser object, and you can scroll through these using the bottom two buttons in the BoardIconView.

The next step if to figure out how to put this in the BoardIconModel. Right now that class iterates the persisted boards using BoardManger and then manually adds a couple icons to the "bottom" of the model. There needs to be some generic way to access "Connections" through the model. Examples of these connections could be:

• Board objects that use the ForumConnectionFrame view
• A web browser view that uses the OwlWebBrowser view
• (future) individual Reddit connections (i.e. one per login)

The last checkin (here) was removing the default ForumConnectionFrame that was originally added in the MainWindow.ui, and now all objects in the forumTopStack are added dynamically when loading boards (and manually such as the case of the single web browser).
