    semantic highlighter: Use a timer to reduce amount of requests being sent · 1c5dc7c8

    Currently we are sending requests on every typed character and everytime
    we change view. This can be really heavy on the server, especially with
    large documents. It results in problems such as "incorrect highlighting"
    because server isn't in sync with the latest changes in the document.
    
    This change introduces a simple mechanism to fix this: Use a QTimer to
    reduce the amount of requests. Every time we type or change the current
    KTE::View this timer gets started/restarted and when it times out, it
    just refreshes the highlighting.
    
    This means no more highlight-as-you-type, which is both good and bad but
    since we can't really control the servers, I think this is better.
