OscDebugConsole

This is a simple text window to which we can send OSC messages of the form

/append "Some text"
/set "Some more text"
/clear

and these appear in the window. It provides an easy way to print debug output to a window on a remote machine. The ReceiverBase class handles creating a UDP socket and decoding OSC messages (using python-osc) and hands off parsed messages to receiver.process_message(). It is better to keep the receiver out of the debug window class, as this gives better flexibility and less coupling. The debug window's only responsibility is showing what it is told to show; the Receiver's only responsibility is to receive UDP packets, decode the OSC, and act on the messages, by calling methods on the debug window.
