box Application to reduce component struct sizes (#3839)
Wrap big and commonly copied `Application` struct into `Rc` to avoid large structure sizes for all widgets.

The `Application`  struct by itself takes 704 bytes, measured by `size_of::<Application>()`. This structure is very often directly copied into components and widgets. Most notably, the generic `Widget` struct contains it. There are also cases, where structs (especially various `Model`s) contain multiple other child widgets directly, and end up indirectly copying the application multiple times.

All of `Application` clones are logical references (via `CloneRef`), so wrapping it into extra `Rc` doesn't change semantics in any way, but makes all structs that clone it way smaller. This reduces the amount of `memcpy`s and overall volume of allocated memory.

Measurement of a few example structs:

Before change:
```
size_of Application: 704 B
size_of Scrollbar: 712 B
size_of Scrollbar Model: 1576 B
```

After change:
```
size_of Application: 4 B
size_of ApplicationData: 704 B
size_of Scrollbar: 12 B
size_of Scrollbar Model: 176 B
```

Ideally we would not need to clone application reference into each component, but that's out of scope of this PR since it requires a lot more effort.
