László Németh 62aecba14c tdf#38159 cui sw offapi xmloff: add paragraph composer
Balance word spacing within the consecutive lines
to get uniform grayness and less rivers for better
readability, enabled by the new paragraph property

com::sun::star::text::ParaComposer

and the following developments:

* Add Paragraph Composer checkbox on Alignment pane of the
  paragraph formatting dialog window (not default yet);

* Implement paragraph composer: big word spacing of a
  line is decreased by shifting the last word from the
  previous line, only if the word spacing is better, than
  before, and the increased word spacing in the previous
  line doesn't exceed the Maximum word spacing (limited
  paragraph composer);

* When Maximum word spacing is not greater than the Desired
  word spacing, shifting of the last word is not limited
  by the Maximum word spacing (unlimited paragraph composer)

* Add loext:paragraph-composer attribute, as LibreOffice
  ODF extension;

* Add ODF unit tests for the limited and not limited
  paragraph composer.

Note: "Smart justify" line breaking algorithm chooses
space shrinking (limited by Minimum word spacing)
only if shifting the last word isn't better based
on the desired word spacing. This was still a greedy
line breaking algorithm, resulting big word spacing
in the lines before a longer word.

The paragraph composer shifts the last word (or the
first part of the hyphenated last word) from the previous
line to decrease big word spacing in the actual line.

Note: balancing very big word spacing in narrow consecutive
lines can result vertical rivers. To avoid this, use limited
paragraph composer by setting maximum word spacing.
