- Change how ``bfg_view`` decorator works when used as a class method

  decorator.  In 1.1a7, it actually tried to grope every class in
  scanned package at startup time looking for methods, which led to
  some strange symptoms (e.g. ``AttributeError: object has no
  attribute __provides__``).  Now, instead of groping methods at
  startup time, we just cause the ``bfg_view`` decorator itself to
  populate its class' __dict__ when its used inside a class as a
  method decorator.  This is essentially a reversion back to 1.1a6
  "grokking" behavior plus some special magic for using the
  ``bfg_view`` decorator as method decorator inside the ``bfg_view``
  class itself.
