While the domain is capable of dealing with several FXViewers, the FXView and FXEditor classes are currently bound to a single viewer. 

If the restriction that multiple FXViewers can hook their visuals into a single scene (see bug #472646 is removed), there is no obstacle preventing to combine several viewers into a single FXView or FXEditor.

We should enable that both classes can also be easily used with several FXViewers.

I pushed the following changes to origin/master:
- Introduced hookViewers() hook method (with default implementation based on the single default content viewer).
- Introduced populateViewers() hook method (with default implementation based on the single default content viewer).

Clients can overwrite these hook methods to hook/populate several viewers (e.g. a palette viewer). Resolving as fixed in 3.10.1 M2.
