KateMDI: Introduce focus toolview actions

Waqar Ahmed requested to merge work/focus-toolview into master

Right now we have Show/Hide toolview actions which work great for showing and hiding a toolview. However, one thing is missing:

How do I focus an already open (or closed) toolview quickly without using mouse?

This change introduces yet another set of toolview actions which allow you to focus a toolview quickly. This makes Kate more keyboard friendly and allows you to do stuff like:

  • Focus document pane and quickly switch to another document without touching the mouse
  • Focus project terminal or whatever is open in there

How it works:

  • If the toolview is closed => open and focus it
  • If the toolview is open => just focus it

After this change, in a follow up we should remove "Focus Terminal" action from the Terminal plugin.
