Mockup for basic shapes in the sidebar

Susobhan's idea is to add a tab to the sidebar which holds the basic shapes
only. The advantage is to get rid of the drawing toolbar in Draw, and the
lengthy menu in Writer > Insert > Shape would have a redundant interaction.

According the design session from comment 14 we have two options: 1) the shape
categories (Lines & Arrows, Curve, Connector, Basic Shapes, Symbol Shapes...)
are shown as content panels with the actual shapes as content; 2) the category
is being selected first from a list and the shapes are shown in respect to this
selection. My preference is #1 because of the clean layout and the one-click
interaction. Advantage of #2 is the conformity with the current gallery (that
should be reworked according #1, though).

The search is not easy to implement. While collapsing panels and hiding items
that do not match the search/filter criteria would be nice, this code is very
difficult. Therefore the mockup just disable (dim) the non-fitting shapes.
Anyway, the number of shapes is not that high and this filter would rather be
the prototype for the gallery.
