Overhaul of the Scripting workspace

As the current Scripting workspace doesn't really fulfill it's potential, Here are some improvement suggestions.

Remove:

  • Outliner x2
  • Properties

Add:

  • File Browser
  • Preferences/Add-ons

Functions:

  • Add double click/drag and drop of text/scripts from File Browser to Text Editor to open files.
  • Add drag and drop of zip(+double click) and scripts from File Browser to Preferences to install add-ons.
  • Show all texts from System Console in Python Console.
  • A more readable/contrasty theme for the Text Editor.
  • Add Help menu with access to all helpful links/material for add-on development.
  • Wrap should be on as default setting.
  • Tabs in the header should show all loaded text-blocks.

I think it would be a mistake for wrap to be turned on by default - especially since Python is a language where indentation is so important.

* @kidtempo * Wrap in the Find section means continue searching from the top, when the bottom is reached.

* @ tintwotin * Ah, sorry. I thought you meant line-width text wrapping in the editor...
