Description
-------

This patch implementes dual-direction training, which we have also called mixed mode training. The patch is not ready for merging yet but I want feedback on the solution and there are some things to discuss.

Visually, the patch removes the language selection listbox and instead adds two selectors: "known language" (the user should select the native language if possible) and "language to learn". In addition to that there is also a new mode selector for the type of practice that the user wants: known-to-learning, learning-to-known our dual direction / mixed mode.  

In the future I will also implement sound-only to known, which trains the ability to understand spoken language, which is not the same as reading. But I cannot do that yet since the kvtml format doesn't support enough ways to keep the training status (grades).

For this review, I would prefer higher-level comments. I will find all trailing spaces and undone FIXME's myself and fix them before the next time around.

So, the questions then:

1. What shall we call the setting for the new mode in the settings file? Right now I call it TrainingMode2 which we obviously need to change.

2. How can we improve the visual layout of the training settings? The new mode selector is separated from the other settings by a qwidget which keeps conjugation settings. But this widget is only visible when the conjugation training mode is chosen.  Perhaps we can make the widget not shown when other modes are active?  Or shall we move the new mode setting somewhere else?

Feedback is most welcome.

Testing
-------

Tested with flashcards.  More testing is also very welcome, especially by people who know how conjugation, comparition and gender training works.


Thanks,
