Khaled Hosny 3901e029bd tdf#104921: Cleanup Kashida insertion logic
Communicate Kashida insertion positions in an explicit way.

Rest of LibreOffice communicate adjustments to character widths (e.g.
for justification or spacing) using so-called DX array. DX array is an
array of absolute character positions (e.g. DX[n] is the position after
character n from the start of the lines, and its widths is DX[n] -
DX[n-1]).

This DX array is modified also when Kashidas are inserted after a given
character for Arabic justification, by expanding its width. VCL would
use this to know where to insert the Kashidas and how many ones.

But because DX array is used for both widths adjustments and kashida
insertion, this turns out to be a source of bugs since VCL has tosecond
guess the DX array to find which is pure width adjustment and which also
involves Kashida insertion, and the heuristics it uses are fragile.

This change adds a second array of booleans that records where Kashida
is inserted and communicates it all the way from where Kashida insertion
is decoded in Writer and down to VCL layout.

This change passes the Kashida array only when it seems necessary (e.g.
during drawing but not when measuring text since the DX array is enough
in this case). Hopefully no places where Kashida insertion needs to be
passed down were missed.

A couple of glyph and layout flags that were used for old heuristics and
no longer needed and are removed.

This also fixes:

Legacy Framework

SFX is the "old" framework, used for historical reasons.

An attempt of documentation of this module is located in [git:sfx2/doc].

It contains base classes for document model, view and controller, used by "old" applications like sw, sc, sd (while "new" applications are based on the "new" UNO based framework in "framework").

The SFX framework is based on dispatching slots identified by integers (SlotIDs) to SfxShells, and there is a dedicated IDL compiler (svidl) involved that generates C++ slot headers from SDI files in modules' sdi/ subdirectory.

Documentation about SFX dispatch, SDI etc.: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Implementation_of_the_Dispatch_API_In_SFX2

Document load/save code is maintained in [git:sfx2/source/doc/docfile.cxx] SfxMedium class, which handles all the twisty load and save corner cases.

[git:sfx2/source/appl/sfxhelp.cxx] Start procedure for the online help viewer top level window; handling of help URL creation and dispatch.

There are also some UNO services here that could really be implemented anywhere, e.g. the DocumentProperties or DocumentMetadataAccess.

Notable files: sfx2/source/dialog/backingwindow.cxx Startcenter buttons and the corresponding event handler.
