[KDev4] SimpleOutputView Renewal

Now is the time to make SimpleOutputView into "Complex"OutputView.

What I want to implement first is some kind of integration with MakeBuilder.
In KDev3.4, when compile error occurs we could go to the error spot
just by clicking the gcc error string in Message tab.
I plan to port it or rewrite it to KDev4.

Now questions are

1.
The name of output is "Simple"OutputView. Can I extend this existing
plugin to implement integration above? Because the name suggests
that it should be "simple", I hesitate to extend existing simpleoutputview.
The name seems to suggest me that I should make other class
which implements IOutputView.

2.
Do we have any special reason why the current output widget
uses QStdModelItem instead of KTextEdit?
If we use QStdModelItem, the user can't copy the
outputs of commands. Also, the appearence of output is ugly IMHO.
More severe problem is that listview gets slower when there are huge
numbers of output lines. Think about building entire KDE project or
entire firefox.
