Add properties tab to digiKam and (especially) IE

Old style properties tab will allow for:

- seeing all properties of image without heavy use of mouse (good for
  accessibility)
- changing name of image in IE
- seeing properties of image in IE (now access to them is very limited)

One of cons mentioned earlier was redundancy with tooltips, but:

- there is no such redundancy in IE
- tooltips can be disabled in options and in such situation there is no
  access to properties of image
- tooltips require excessive use of mouse (bad for accessibility
- tooltips are very sensitive to mouse moves, minimal move of mouse and
  whole info vanishes

- use of properties tab and tooltips at the same time allow for very
  wide comparison of properties, not possible in any other way
