Allow to connect slots between plugins.

Detailed description
Interface Class which allows to connect signals and slots across plugins


WARNING! Never connect SIGNALS and SLOTS which are already defined in the Interfaces!! WARNING!
This might result in endless loops and breaks OpenFlippers control loops. You have to keep track of your connections yourself. If you call slots which call updatedOject which in turn call your original slot you get a loop and OpenFlipper is not responsible for your endless loops! Be careful!
