We need this because recent method submissions should not cross Environment boundaries - when we make a method submission, we should track in which Environment you made the change (through AbstractEvent >> #environment:)

As threatened, I finally beat my submission into shape. This is the
next step in the elimination of Utilities, or at least those parts of
Utilities that belong in separate objects.

Adding this to trunk will mean a bunch of other small commits to
Monticello, Collections (!) and so on. There's also a fairly
comprehensive test suite for RecentMessages. Almost certainly not
exhaustive, but there are tests for things like reverting the last
change, and loading things into environments.

Please take a look, and let me know what you think. There's a fair
amount of code, but the idea is simple enough: pull everything around
tracking recent method submissions out of Utilities and into a
separate, self-contained object.

Oh, one thing: there's a change in the preamble to stop the change
notifications going to Utilities. RecentMessages class >> #startUp
will route the notifications to the replacement, RecentMessages
default.
