Log:
* sniff/sniff: Overhaul sniff to use pyatspi events to be notified
when a node is renamed or gains/loses children. As a result, SniffModel does
not use its addDeadNode() and checkNodes() methods.  Those methods have not yet
been removed, however. This change will result in properly-written applications
working far better than before in sniff. Improperly-written apps (e.g. Firefox,
but they know this) will behave better than sniff in 0.6.1; checkNodes() was
causing serious slowdowns in some cases since it's fairly heavy code that needs
to be looped continuously. Since sniff now has to do a lot less work than it
did ever before, it should be somewhat faster in all cases.
