ConnectionTypeBlocking always invokes the method through inter-thread
message passing, which results in deadlocks if the sender and receiver
live in the same thread. The deadlock can easily be avoided by turning
the invocation into a direct call in this case. Do so to make
ConnectionTypeBlocking easier to use when some of the senders live in
the same thread as the receiver while the other senders don't.
Extend the object-invoke test to cover this usage.
While at it reformat the documentation to avoid long \brief lines.

Test that Object::invokeMethod() can be used to invoke a non-void
method. Verify that the return value is correctly propagated to the
caller.

Test the ConnectionTypeDirect type when the object lives in a different
thread. This test passes but generates a memory leak.

Object::invokeMethod() fails with a compilation error when the invoked

The InvokeObject instance is created on the stack in the run() method,
and is thus destroyed before the thread the object is bound to
terminates. This creates a race condition as the object message handler
could be running when the object is deleted. Fix this by moving the
InvokeObject to a member field.

For all tests that don't otherwise require access to the camera manager,
get the event dispatcher from the current thread instead of the camera
manager. This prepares for the removal of CameraManager::instance().
