6c982ac05b Switch to a horizontal, qsplitter-based layout for editor and help text
Also: Disable text wrapping in the editor area to reduce the likelihood
of users performing syntax errors.

737a8d934e persistent add-on configuration
- add-ons can ship default config in a config.json file
- users can edit the config in the add-ons dialog, easily syntax-check
the json, and restore it to the defaults
- an optional config.md contains instructions to the user in markdown
format
- config will be preserved when add-on is updated, instead of being
overwritten as is the case when users are required to edit the source
files

A simple example: in config.json:

{"myvar": 5}

In your add-on's code:

from aqt import mw
config = mw.addonManager.getConfig(__name__)
print("var is", config['myvar'])

Add-ons that manage options in their own GUI can have that GUI
displayed when the config button is clicked:

mw.addonManager.setConfigAction(__name__, myOptionsFunc)
