Mockup for chart style

We have access to properties from the sidebar. So option a) could be to place a
control for style selection on top likewise it's done for text styles. Drawback
is that many properties are shown dependent on context, e.g. Line Style of grid
lines, Line Style of bars and Line Style of the background. So what we can do
here, is to clean up and show all together and rename and combine it properly.

Option b) is to introduce a second deck for chart styles similar to the styles
in Writer. Wouldn't be as prominent as it should be though the adoption to
chart styles in Writer might be easier. Issue is that still not all chart
properties are active in edit mode: for example the chart background color can
be set to none and the overall chart property for area to something else
(becomes active when not in edit mode).

For simplicity I would suggest to go with option b) and have a new sidebar deck
for chart styles including Fill Format Mode and New Style as known from Writer
ignoring the non-edit-mode properties.
To apply the style on creation we could introduce a fifth step in the chart
wizard where the user can select the style.

Supposed workflow for bug 90490 is to create a new style based on the current
selection and modify it. Since we do not have a all-in-one edit dialog yet as
requested in bug 90687 this wont work (for now).
