rewrite lesson text rendering
Previously I have employed a lot of individual Text elements to assemble the lesson trainer. This worked well for languages with a Latin alphabet but was insufficient for pretty much anything else since it was unable to render typographic ligatures and had no support for right-to-left training. The new implementation fixes all these issues with a new taylor-made declarative item encapsulating a QTextDocument instance to do the lesson text rendering. As a nice side effect the text rendering looks much better now since the letter-spacing is now correct. Previously I had no control over the font hinting settings and the results of hintend and scaled text were hideous. Therefore the training text is now rendered only with vertical hinting. As a bonus the new component is also used to render the lesson previews on the home screen. That way the appearance there and in the training screen are coherent and the previews also benefit from the improved text rendering quality. BUG: 315511 BUG: 315511 BUG: 128268 FIXED-IN: 4.11
