WIP - GUI: Implement external cmdline

[equalsraf]

Nothing to see here yet, just working out the api.

• I think this is api lvl 3, but I have not checked. the attachment code needs to be updated and we need to generate bindings.

ref #347

tl;dr : should we actually implement the cmdline as a sub-Shell widget ?

At first I thought that using a QTextEdit widget would be the best solution for the issue, because QTextEdit can show/edit Rich Text. Rich text support is important to do something with the formatting information, contrary to QLineEdit.

Another advantage of QTextEdit over QLineEdit is the ability to show multiple lines/paragraphs. QLineEdit is not able to properly answer cmdline_block_show and cmdline_block_append

But then I thought that if we're editing text in this window we probably want a sub Shell there don't we ? And the wildmenu should then be implemented as a special instance of PopupMenu ?
