Simple ScintillaEdit edit

A minimal QMainWindow with a ScintillaEdit central widget, demonstrating:

• a toolbar button that shows/hides the line-number margin
• a "Go to Line" toolbar action
• block (rectangular) selection — hold Alt and drag, or use Alt+Shift+arrow keys
• block (multi-line) editing — typing while a rectangular/multiple selection is active edits every selected line at once

Contrasts with Simple ScintillaEditBase edit, which uses ScintillaEditBase's raw send/sends message API: this example uses ScintillaEdit's typed, per-message methods (e.g. setText(), lineCount(), gotoLine()) instead.
