Added an EvolutionActivityClient object to libeshell, to handle

updating of progress information from the component's side.  This
object allows to automatically set a lower limit to the delay between
CORBA calls towards the shell, so that the component isn't slowed down
too much by doing too frequent updates.

Also changed the test component to use this instead of doing CORBA
calls directly.
