thislooksfun 4143f6f906 LibGUI: Make sure that children are actually widgets
Previously this section of code would blindly add *anything* as a child
as long as it has been registered as an object. Since there is no
guarentee that those objects are, in fact, Widgets, this feels like a
logical fallacy.

For example, up until this change, this is perfectly valid GML:

```
@GUI::Widget {
    layout: @GUI::VerticalBoxLayout {
    }

    @GUI::VerticalBoxLayout {
    }
}
```

What exactly does it do? Who knows! It doesn't seem to *break*, but I
think we can all agree it shouldn't be valid.

Instead, we now actually verify that the registered class inherets from
GUI::Widget before adding it as a child. We also error if it's not,
which should hopefully help new GML writers from forgetting to write
'layout: ' before the layout definition and being confused as to why
it's not working.
