+1 for inline editable (WYSIWYG) notes.

This would IMO require new API methods to render single annotations
individually on poppler side.

Atm, poppler renders (slices of) pages. An inline editable note needed to
trigger page rendering for each key stroke. This is a bit heavy considering
processing time. Even if we only rendered the relevant page slice there'd still
be overhead during rendering. Plus the corresponding Okular code would look
ugly. There was a related bug for moving inline notes:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333981. It's currently solved by only
drawing an empty rectangle, which is obviously not an option during editing:) 

This is a matching wish on the poppler list:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2017-April/012165.html. I guess
it currently lacks interest and patches. Maybe we can bump and patch a bit?

As a bonus, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325119 should get solved "for
free".
