GSoC 2020, Command palette

Deliver to #1567 (closed) ux#31 (closed)

Inkscape comes with a plethora of features out of the box, and functionality can be extended even more by using various extensions. These features and extensibility have made Inkscape the wonderful software it is today. But, these features come with a cost, i.e. difficulty accessing these features. Currently, operations have to be searched through highly nested (Extensions > Render > Barcode > QRCode) and huge (Extensions > Render > 34items) drop-downs. Also, you have to remember where the option was. Keyboard shortcuts don't solve the problem due to their learning curve, system shortcuts, and the limit on the number of keys that can humanly be pressed. Solution: Command palette

Command Palette enable users to search all operations Inkscape provides
