By creating copies of the required inputs on the main thread just before
the task is spawned. A;so if task is still running when new data can be
copied then the task is interrupted thus avoiding concurrency without
mutexes. Atomics are used to signal state information used to determine
what and when to spawn.
Also includes update to pattern editor library and some fixes to syntax
highlighting error when custom types defined inside namespaces were used
inside the namespaces without the full qualified name and other small
changes mostly to improve the current style.

- Fix for vertical scroll bar being too far to the left.
- Fix constructor not initializing from const char pointer properly
- maxcolumn not being set for console text lines causing crashes on
empty pattern evaluation
- A replacement using replace all is now undone in one step.
- Find/replace no longer need to have enter or return key to accept
text. You can use arrows or shortcuts.
- More efficient search replace implementation with plans to add even
faster.
- Tooltips added to find/replace window
- Providers now save both horizontal and vertical scroll positions when
switching to another one and restore them when switching back. This is
independent to the cursor position which is also saved.
- Pattern editor no longer takes focus when changing providers via a tab
click. This has the effect that menus won't change by just clicking on a
tab.
- Small fixes and code refactoring.
- fixed crash when utf8 chars were present in text editor
- fixed unable to scroll when cursor at line 1
- removed dependencies on thext editor that were not being used.
I had to go back to the old code (old for me) and fit in the changes
that were applied to the new code.That was only possible by
incorporating some of the new structural differences to the text editor.
This created new bugs and crashes that I ve have fixed but there may be
ones that I couldn't find in the very small amount of time I could spend
testing so that this commit wouldn't be delayed. If more crashes are
found due to the mixing of old and new code they should be resolved when
the new code is brought in.
