Add a BConstReference class.

This is a BReference that allows only const access to the referenced
object. This was not easily possible with the existing BReference for
two reasons:
* BReference<const Type> would not work, as BReference needs to change
the reference count of the referenced object. Adding mutable and casting
where appropriate wouldwork but,
Why not provide a specialization for const types instead? It would save the additional class and avoid the fairly ugly implementation. 

CU, Ingo
