The hyphenation of a word can be changed from its default
by long pressing for 3 seconds and selecting 'Hyphenate'.
These overrides are stored in a per-language file, i.e:
koreader/settings/user-German.hyph.
That seems like a rather terrible idea to beign with, and that that may actually have fatal consequences.

Lots of code was doing some renderText calls to get the size
of some text string, and truncate it to some width if needed,
with or without an added ellipsis, before instantiating
a TextWidget with that tweaked text string.
This PR fixes/adds some properties and methods to TextWidget
so all that can be done by it. It makes the calling code
simpler, as they don't need to use RenderText directly.
(Additionally, when we go at using Harfbuzz for text rendering,
we'll just have to update or replace textwidget.lua without
the need to update any higher level code.)
Also:
- RenderText: removed the space added by truncateTextByWidth
after the ellipsis, as it doesn't feel needed, and break
right alignment of the ellipsis with other texts.
- KeyValuePage: fix some subtle size and alignment issues.
- NumberPickerWidget: fix font size (provided font size was
not used)
New TrapWidget: invisible full screen widget for catching UI events. Can
optionally display a text message at bottom left of screen (ie: "Loading..."),
used by default by Trapper:dismissable functions when no widget provided.
Added Trapper:dismissableRunInSubprocess() to run a lua function in
a sub-process, allowing it to be dismissed, and returns its return
value(s).
