Adds a full copy of KSyntaxHighlighting::Repository class
to the Highlighter class, enabling the relocation of the
Highlighter class to a separate thread. This adjustment ensures
that all Definitions come from the copy of the repository, making
them immutable from external code.
The "reload Definition" function stays supported, as triggering
it results in the recreation of the highlighter for the document,
thereby reconstructing the Repository class.

This change involves the relocation of SyntaxHighlighter processing
to another thread. The core idea is to create a duplicate of the
original TextDocument using SyntaxHighlighterRunnerPrivate::cloneDocument.
A new SyntaxHighlighter is then instantiated by SyntaxHighLighterCreator
for the cloned document. The entire SyntaxHighLighterCreator class is
moved to a new thread, where it performs highlighting on the cloned
document. Upon completion of the highlighting process, the resultsReady
signal is emitted, and the updated highlighting data is applied to the
original document.
This shift of SyntaxHighlighter to another thread enhances the user
experience by preventing UI slowdowns during the highlighting process.
- Introduction of BaseSyntaxHighlighterRunner as an interface class for
future *SyntaxHighlighterRunner.
- Inclusion of DirectSyntaxHighlighterRunner class for performing
highlighting in the main thread, suitable for syntax highlighters
that cannot be moved to another thread.
- Introduction of ThreadedSyntaxHighlighterRunner class for highlighting
in a separate thread, preventing UI blocking during the process.
- Addition of Result data to the SyntaxHighlighter class to facilitate
data exchange between threads.
