Having to call two methods to get complete feature information (id and data) is cumbersome. The `getFeatureInfo` method returns an object with both feature id and data.
The tile now has responsibility for resolving feature ids and fetching feature data given x, y pixel offsets with getFeatureId and getFeatureData methods. The layer has corresponding getFeatureId and getFeatureData methods that take a map location, lookup the appropriate tile, and delegate to the tile for the rest of the work.
I think it should be the job of the layer to retrieve data for a given location (instead of the control). The first part of this change creates a `getData` method on the layer and updates the control to use this method.
The second part of this change removes the assumption that the data returned will be an simple object representing feature attributes. The UTFGrid specification doesn't say anything about the structure of property values in the optional data member. The examples given in the spec use string values. The default callback previously assumed that the data could be rendered in a two column table. I think it would make more sense not to make this assumption. With this change, the user must always provide a callback to do anything with returned data.
When the list of event types became unconstrained in 501b42228a, we lost the documentation for events that are triggered. This change adds the list of events triggered to the API docs for events properties.
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).
Whitespace fixed from patch, and removed docs for beforefeatureselected and featureselected events because they are fired on the layer, not the control.

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.
