Add support for displaying text next to a checkbox
When building forms the label field is typically quite short, just one or two words. For checkboxes it is often desirable to have a longer descriptive piece of text. This is not practical to use as a label and in many applications would more commonly be placed to the right of the checkbox.
This adds support for a "SetMessage()" method which provides support for text adjacent to the checkbox
As an example, this form shows one usage pattern, where the checkbox is used to require case sensitive matching of the author name query. In this case the checkbox label is an empty string, and the message text is used instead:
╔════════════ User filtering ════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Age: ________ ║
║ ║
║ Author: ______________ ║
║ ║
║ X Case sensitive ║
║ ║
║ Apply Cancel ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Another pattern is where there are a series of checkboxes, all related to the same attribute. Thus they have a common form label but different message text
╔════════════ Request filtering ═════════════════╗
║ ║
║ State: X Opened ║
║ ║
║ _ Closed ║
║ ║
║ _ Merged ║
║ ║
║ X Locked ║
║ ║
║ Apply Cancel ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Tested and merged into cview with this additional commit adding a message argument to Form.NewCheckbox
