Right now Okular defaults to opening an already-open document in a new
tab when opened a second time, which is a bit odd. Most other
document-based apps will switch to the existing document's instance
instead of opening a new instance of it.
Interestingly enough, Okular has an option to do this, but it's off by
default. I think on by default makes more sense here, to be consistent
with other document-based apps. Since the option exists, people who have
a specialized use case that commonly involves opening multiple instances
of the same document can toggle the option to have that. Everyone wins!

The Table Select tool no longer automatically copies its
contents to the clipboard, but only to the selection clipboard.
(Middle-click paste clipboard.) Instead, after creating
the table, the user can right-click to bring up a popup
menu with the action "Copy Table Contents to the Clipboard".
Clicking on this will copy the table contents to the clipboard.
Ctrl+C also works.

Even though the animated smooth scrolling transitions are now affected
by the global animation speed setting in Plasma, this is not totally
satisfactory for the full pool of people who hate smooth scrolling, as
it does not address the cases of people using Okular outside of Plasma
or people who generally want animations but just not in Okular's
scrolling implementation.
Accordingly, there is now a GUI option to disable smooth scrolling in
Okular's settings window.

This adds a KToggleAction which sets annotation tools to constrain angle mode.
It provides an alternative user interface to the Shift button, which is used to constrain angles since MR !210.
The action and the Shift button are XOR-ed, i. e. if constrain angle mode is activated, pressing Shift temporarily disables it.
The action state is remembered accross sessions, for consistency with most other actions. It should be difficult to check this action without knowing of its existence, since it is not in any toolbar or menu, just in the action collection.
The meaning of AnnotatorEngine::Modifiers was generalized a bit, moving the responsibility about whether to constrain angles back to PageViewAnnotator, because AnnotatorEngine does not know about the action.

The standard action for Fullscreen was moved from settings menu to view menu because of a VDG decision, but the Okular docbook wasn’t updated.
This moves the docbook entry, and removes the hyperlink to the Presentation action, because that is in the same section now.
Okular's sidebar vertical view chooser toolbar suffers from a few issues:
* It's a nonstandard UI not used for category choosers in other pieces of KDE software,
and not used in other FOSS document readers
* What is shown and what is hidden is simultaneously too configurable while still not
offering the desirable UI common to other programs (i.e. no visible category chooser,
but a sidebar capable of displaying thumbnails, table of contents, search results, etc.)
* With labels on it takes up quite a bit of horizontal space, while with labels off, the
categories are less than clear
* UX is kind of clunky with nonstandard behaviors (e.g. clicking on the current category
to hide that category's view while keeping the view chooser visible, showing mostly
disabled items)
* It's made with custom painting code, which reduces maintainability and introduces bugs
(e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408190)
This patch removes the vertical category chooser entirely and replaces it with a tabbed
view on the top of the sidebar itself. The tabs are icons-only and have large icons. A
button is added on the left side of the default toolbar to quickly hide or show the
sidebar. In order to make room for the new button, the Previous and Next buttons on the
toolbar are removed, as previous/next buttons are already present on the Page Bar on the
bottom of the window so there's no need to duplicate this functionality. This improves
the UX, fixes a variety of bugs, and deletes a lot of custom code of dubious long-term
maintainability.

CHANGELOG: The sidebar can now be easily shown or hidden with a toolbar button, and the category chooser no longer takes up so much space
It's only enabled when the document supports multiple page sizes, that
at the time of writing (and since 13 years) is none
So not great to have an always disabled menu :D
The backend part (Document::supportsPageSizes) is still there, so if we
ever reintroduce a backend that supports it part of the code is there,
and probably we may want to rethink the UI so it only shows when useful,
and not being disabled without possibility of enabling it for say PDF
Summary:
This moves the Continuous option from the View menu to the
View Mode submenu. This makes the View Mode menu (a KActionMenu)
more useful in the main toolbar. Additionally, “Continuous” is explained by the context “View Mode”.
The primary intention was to give this View Mode a similar usage pattern like
the Change Colors menu (D21195), if both are added to the toolbar. See my
suggestion in Bugs 407217 and 407326.

Test Plan:
* Look into View menu and test entries
* Add View Mode menu to toolbar and test entries

Remove indentation that breaks formatting when compiling with namespaced stylesheets.

Summary:
Currently, some of the items in the {nav Tools} menu have "tool" in the name, and some
do not. This is in any event redundant since they're in a menu with that word in it
already. In the toolbar, these actions become more inconsistent since their names change
and can even differ between what's shown in the pop-up menu and what's shown on the
button text.
This patch regularizes the names, stops changing the names for the toolbar versions, and
updates the docbook accordingly.
