Revamped distributed object creation. There was no particular reason to create

distributed objects by reflection since we don't allow clients to create
objects, furthermore we needn't do it asynchronously. The object creation
methods were moved into the server-side only interface and made "immediate", so
the caller creates a derived instance of DObject and registers it with the
system instead of creating it with a Subscriber callback.
