This adds title support throughout Digikam.

There has been a lot of controversy over whether headline or title is
"more right". XMP clearly has better support for title (the headline
tag doesn't even get language variants) whereas IPTC clearly want you
to use headlines (the title tag is very obscure and not even editable
in most programs). Personally, I just rolled the dice and decided to
follow Adobe Lightroom and use the title tags. Perhaps someone can
make it configurable in the future if they don't like it.

The title is used for filenames by many plugins and web services. (For
e.g., Picasa will usee your title as filename on their server. Big
problem if your titles are not unique.) To avoid problems, I'm
conveying the titles to Kipi plugins as an attribute. I've made
changes to the Flickr plugin to use that to set the title. The Picasa
plugin has been changed to include it as the first line of caption
before the original comments. Older or unmodified plugins will simply
ignore that attribute.

As a bonus, I've stolen some click message code from KLineEdit for the
language edit controls in Digikam so the font color and style matches
the decor of other click messages on KDE. (The original code sets the
pen *AFTER* they drew the text. So the text looks like normal content
instead of grayed out.)

Let me know if you need me to adjust anything.
