* Address the poor performance of the existing unique-name generation
As described in Issue 16849, the existing Tools::getUniqueName method
requires calling code to form a vector of existing names to be avoided.
This leads to poor performance both in the O(n) cost of building such a
vector and also getUniqueName's O(n) algorithm for actually generating
the unique name (where 'n' is the number of pre-existing names).
This has particularly noticeable cost in documents with large numbers
of DocumentObjects because generating both Names and Labels for each new
object incurs this cost. During an operation such as importing this
results in an O(n^2) time spent generating names.
The other major cost is in the saving of the temporary backup file,
which uses name generation for the "files" embedded in the Zip file.
Documents can easily need several such "files" for each object in the
document.
This update includes the following changes:
Create UniqueNameManager to keep a list of existing names organized in
a manner that eases unique-name generation. This class essentially acts
as a set of names, with the ability to add and remove names and check if
a name is already there, with the added ability to take a prototype name
and generate a unique form for it which is not already in the set.
Eliminate Tools::getUniqueName
Make DocumentObject naming use the new UniqueNameManager class
Make DocumentObject Label naming use the new UniqueNameManager class.
Labels are not always unique; unique labels are generated if the
settings at the time request it (and other conditions). Because of this
the Label management requires additionally keeping a map of counts
for labels which already exist more than once.
These collections are maintained via notifications of value changes on
the Label properties of the objects in the document.
Add Document::containsObject(DocumentObject*) for a definitive
test of an object being in a Document. This is needed because
DocumentObjects can be in a sort of limbo (e.g. when they are in the
Undo/Redo lists) where they have a parent linkage to the Document but
should not participate in Label collision checks.
Rename Document.getStandardObjectName to getStandardObjectLabel
to better represent what it does.
Use new UniqueNameManager for Writer internal filenames within the zip
file.
Eliminate unneeded Reader::FileNames collection. The file names
already exist in the FileList collection elements. The only existing
use for the FileNames collection was to determine if there were any
files at all, and with FileList and FileNames being parallel
vectors, they both had the same length so FileList could be used
for this test..
Use UniqueNameManager for document names and labels. This uses ad hoc
UniqueNameManager objects created on the spot on the assumption that
document creation is relatively rare and there are few documents, so
although the cost is O(n), n itself is small.
Use an ad hoc UniqueNameManager to name new DymanicProperty entries.
This is only done if a property of the proposed name already exists,
since such a check is more-or-less O(log(n)), almost never finds a
collision, and avoids the O(n) building of the UniqueNameManager.
If there is a collision an ad-hoc UniqueNameManager is built
and discarded after use.
The property management classes have a bit of a mess of methods
including several to populate various collection types with all
existing properties. Rather than introducing yet another such
collection-specific method to fill a UniqueNameManager, a
visitProperties method was added which calls a passed function for
each property. The existing code would be simpler if existing
fill-container methods all used this.
Ideally the PropertyContainer class would keep a central directory of
all properties ("static", Dynamic, and exposed by ExtensionContainer and
other derivations) and a permanent UniqueNameManager. However the
Property management is a bit of a mess making such a change a project
unto itself.
The unit tests for Tools:getUniqueName have been changed to test
UniqueNameManager.makeUniqueName instead.
This revealed a small regression insofar as passing a prototype name
like "xyz1234" to the old code would yield "xyz1235" whether or
not "xyz1234" already existed, while the new code will return the next
name above the currently-highest name on the "xyz" model, which could
be "xyz" or "xyz1".

Convenience helpers function Tools::toStdString and Tools::fromStdString
were implemented for Qt4 or older to perform utf8 aware conversion as
QString::toStdString/QString::fromStdString were using toAscii/fromAscii
internally (see https://dreamswork.github.io/qt4/classQString.html).
Since Qt5 QString uses toUtf8/fromUTf8, which makes the helper functions
obsolete (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#fromStdString).
* Change to enclose field values with quotation character in exported CSV file if they contain delimiters

* App: add option to normalize a Range
- To make sure the range starts from top left and ends with bottom right
corner.
- Default is to not normalize on construction for backward compatibility.
- fix range checking in range binding
PropertySheet used to only work when refereceing its own cell either
through cell address or alias. It does not work for reference to other
property of the owner Spreadsheet object.
No longer add dynamic property for alias, simply rely on
get(Dynamic)PropertyByName() to check for aliases.
Add new API PropertyContainer::getPropertyNamedList() so that
ExpressionCompleter can discover properties with aliases.
Cell binding allows one to bind a range of cells of one sheet to another
range of cells of an arbitary sheet, including any empty cells in the
range.
The binding is implemented with PropertyExpressionEngine and
PropertySheet::setPathValue(), which binds a special path of
PropertySheet, such as
.cells.Bind.A1.D1
to an expression, such as
tuple(.cells, <<A2>>, <<A5>>)
The A1 and D1 in the example above specifies the binding start and end
cell address. And <<A2>> and <<A5>> are the range of cells to bind to.
Note that you can use any expression that evalutes to string for the
binding destination, e.g. <<A%d>> % B1, which uses the value inside B1
to construct the binding destination. The '.cells' in the tuple shown
above is an example to bind cells of the same PropertySheet. It can be
change to to reference to any other spreadsheet, even those outside the
current document, e.g. Document#Spreadsheet001.cells
LineEdit no longer actually handles motion, it simply indicates which
action was taken to cause it to lose focus (e.g. which key was pressed).
It's up to the client code to determine what this means. This allows
significant consolidation of keyboard-handling logic, and the
implementation of more extensive keyboard navigation features.
New keyboard shortcuts include a tab counter to implement auto-return,
plus Ctrl->Arrow, End, Home, Ctrl-End, and Ctrl-Home, matching the
behavior of OpenOffice, LibreOffice, etc.
Block selection via keyboard has also been added by holding down the
shift key during navigation with the arrow keys (this also works in
combination with the Ctrl modifier for region navigation).
When removing a row in a spreadsheet which has an assigned alias, the
alias will not be removed from the list of dynamic properties.
This makes it impossible to create a new alias which uses the same name
even if the original was removed (using removeRows/removeColumns)
