controller protected methods [like loadObj]: calls from components denied

[didoda]

Some useful 'protected' methods (like frontendController->loadObj) are declared in controllers, not available from components. How to use them?

A. make them 'public' in controllers, and let them be 'tokens', not available if called directly through urls.
B. create a public wrapper for these methods, then let it be a 'token', not available if called directly through urls.

Both A and B allow components to call specified methods (calls like: $this->Controller->loadObj ...).

From a design perpsective calling controller methods from components is not a good thing.
Maybe that logic should reside in models or elsewhere.
At this point we need to handle however situations where public methods may not be called from urls, so I would go with solution A.
@batopa what do you think?

I agree, a refactoring of FrontendController splitting methods in models or other needed, but probably we will address it in BEdita 4.

For now we can proceed with solution A.

Commit above for solution A. Frontend methods involved: "loadObj","loadObjByNick","loadSectionObjects","loadSectionObjectsByNick","objectRelationArray".
