With the buttonclick event, we can also handle clicks on layer names and checkboxes/radiobuttons when they get the olButton class. To make this work on iOS, we have to add a check in buttonclick.js to handle the case where the event occurred on a text element (nodeType === 3).
For PanZoomBar, this fixes the slider behavior. Now the buttonclick listener argument also includes a buttonXY property, and PanZoomPanel does not need an Events instance for the zoombarDiv any more.
For Panel, this fixes events for panels outside the map. Just setting the element on the Events instance was no longer enough after e70569b2bb. Events::attachToElement is now used, and it needed to be modified to also work if the Events instance had no element previously.
Finally, I renamed the button property of the buttonclick listener argument to buttonElement, to not confuse it with the browser event button property, and added some more tests and documentation.
This change involves removal of the map's eventsDiv and introduces an OpenLayers.Events.buttonclick component that adds a buttonclick event which makes sure that only events that are not related to clicking a button propagate. This allows button controls to be on the map's viewPortDiv again.
