#213 Navigation by table of contents

[Gabriel Elkind]

As a user annotating a PDF I would like to be able to import the table of contents of the PDF automatically and navigate using a tree in some separate panel.

In my view, this is the only missing feature preventing Xournal from being a useful and completely sufficient PDF annotation tool. At the moment, the absence of this feature renders Xournal useless for textbooks, as finding the chapter and section I'm looking for takes upwards of 3 minutes for large books.

This is a very good idea, though xournal is not recommended for
annotating whole books anyway unless you first cut them into individual
chapter pdf files -- its memory usage and CPU consumption grows to an
unreasonable extent when annotating very long files (I wouldn't go much
over 100-200 pages).

I created this patch long time ago to navigate throughout the document.
