Further improvements to Add Catalog Object UI, including auto-filling data from text

Akarsh Simha requested to merge asimha/kstars:user/akarsh/further_improvements_to_add_object into master

This MR introduces a few changes:

  1. The position of major axis and minor axis are swapped so that major axis comes first, as is typical in astronomy
  2. Placeholder text to guide the user is improved.
  3. "unnamed" is not auto-filled into the name and long-name fields. Note: This changes the default behavior of CatalogObject constructor, and I think it should be reviewed to make sure it is okay.
  4. The "AI Autofill" or "Guess from Text" feature to auto-fill object data from a blurb of text is restored, with enhancements. It works with Wikipedia blurbs, Cartes du Ciel info, MegaStar5 info, various forum posts etc.
