UI and such for Sections

Hi everybody,

  Over the last couple of days i've been poking about with trying to
come up with some UI that'll fit into how the rest of the Calligra
Words UI works, and have come up with what i believe will be the
lest-impact solution to this. i have (as suggested by Jaroslav) looked
at libreoffice's implementation of this, and adapted some of their
work to fit better into Calligra's workflows. What this means is:
There are two dialogues which you can see here (one embeds the other),
and there are two ways of reaching the addition, removing and editing
of sections functionality (one through the menu, one through the
status bar inspired by the page styles bit). The sections part of the
status bar is only shown in case the cursor is, in fact, inside a
section (this is also why it is at the right, as this hiding/unhiding
behaviour would otherwise cause the page style controls to move around
all the time, which is obviously not a good idea).

  So, if you have things to make comment on for this, please do so, i
should love to hear them :)
