Summary: Actions: support actions that can receive parameters

Initial Comment:
It would be nice if actions could receive arbitrary
parameters. This way a single action could be used in
different ways, depending on parameters that are passed
to it.

My idea: EditAction's "invoke()" method should also
receive a second argument, an Object[] with the
arguments passed to the action. To maintain backwards
compatibility, we maintain the current "invoke(View)"
method, and actions will have to explicitly declare
that they expect parameters (a new attribute in the
"actions.xml" entry?).

The default implementation for invoke(View) would just
call invoke(View,Object[]) with an empty argument array.

The shortcut dialog would have to be modified when
adding a shortcut to an action that expect parameters,
so the user can set the parameters that would be used
for that shortcut.
