D28192: WIP: Refactor dictionary runner

[Harald Sitter]

  About fixing the UX:
  There is some kind of preview tech in milou which you can take a look at and maybe build upon.
  The line space is just never going to be enough for a text only representation of a dict entry, plus it looks fairly forced anyway. So, my thinking is that ideally we'll want a minimal text display but then be able to expand that with a rich "preview" of the dict entry for the clients where we need that (notably krunner I suppose). Rich in this case means having full on control over how it is displayed using a bespoke QML item. This could work a lot like clipboard entries do, where each entry can have multiple mimetypes, one of them ought to be text which is kind of the go-to fallback, but they others may give a richer experience when the client supports it. Matches could behave much the same way, and from a glance at the existing milou code that is kind of where things were headed.
