Add a method that documents the postRecompileAction convention for rebuilding state affected by a Compiler recompileAll.

=============== Diff against Kernel-mt.1272 ===============

Item was added:
+ ----- Method: Object class>>postRecompileAction (in category 'documentation') -----
+ postRecompileAction
+ 	"This is a stub method to document the convention for reinitializing state at the end of Compiler recompileAll.
+ 	 The issue is that after recompiling all methods, processes or blocks could remain that refer to old methods,
+ 	 and that somehow those processes should be restarted and objects referring to blocks rebuilt.  For example,
+ 	 PluggableDictionary integerDictionary creates a PluggableDictionary with a hashBlock that refers to the
+ 	 PluggableDictionary class>>#integerDictionary method.  Users of PluggableDictionary integerDictionary can
+ 	 rebuild structures containing it after recompile by implementing thsi method to do so.  Compiler will then
+ 	 invoke any and all such methods after recompileAll."
