nxcomp: Duplicate NXTransDialog code as NXTransCallbacksDispatcher.

  - As a starting point for newly implementing a callbacks dispatcher
    scenario that allows capturing various session events and execute
    external tools (like dialog boxes, pulldown menus, etc.).
  - The callbacks dispatch approach will finally deprecated the NX_CLIENT
    env var related code path in later releases of nxcomp/nxagent.

 For now, the callbacks dispatcher code path is taken if the env var
 NX_CALLBACKS_DISPATCHER is set, ideally to the applications that handles
 the dispatching of callbacks from nxagent.
