KClearableLineEdit

[Aaron J. Seigo]

attached is a class that implements a line edit with an embedded clear button. 
the intention is to replace all those lineedits with the clear button next to 
them. why?

a) they currently look ugly by breaking layouts out
b) they unnecessarily increase the visual noise with More Buttons
c) being external to the line edit they are currently not very well associated 
with the widget they act upon.

the only downside to this new class (besides bugs i am not aware of and some 
unwanted flickering on resizing, all of which are fixables as issues arise) 
is that i'm not sure what the accessibility impact would be; worst case is 
that this class would need to export via QAccessible that it has a clear 
function? not sure ... 

i also implemented this as a subclass of KLineEdit rather than embed the 
functionality into KLineEdit since KLineEdit is already a pretty hairy beast 
and i didn't want to add to that.
