weld native message dialogs

just the straight-forward MessageDialog cases first

a) remove border_width from message dialog .ui so as to take
the default border width
b) retain 12 as default message dialog border for vcl widget case
c) remove layour_style from message dialog button boxes so as to
take the default mode (a no-op for vcl widget case)
d) use gtk response ids (vcl builder will converts to vcl ones)
