#854 Add facility to auto-complete input

[Aaron Madlon-Kay]

Add a facility to automatically complete partially-typed user input in the editing window.

The concept is similar to Eclipse's Content Assist, where upon triggering a pop-up window will appear with relevant suggestions.

For the initial implementation:

• The activation keys are Ctrl+Space (Windows) or Cmd+Space (Mac).
• Cycle between views with the activation keys, or Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn (Cmd+PgUp/PgDn on Mac).
• Return inserts the selected entry and closes the window. Insert inserts the selected entry and leaves the window open.
• A Glossary Entries view is supplied to allow easy insertion of glossary hits for the current segment.

Improvements currently planned:

• Change the activation keys for Mac to something that doesn't conflict with system defaults.
• Add a Tag Suggestions view to allow easy insertion of tags (tag groups) missing from the current segment.

The activation key for Mac has been changed to Esc, which is consistent with OS X-native controls.

Also the Glossary Entries view now shows individual terms instead of concatenated ones when the same source term has multiple definitions.

I close, as this is implemented in the the released version 3.0.1.

It will be clearer to open a new RFE for future improvements.

The tag suggestions view is now committed in r5559.
