User interface changes

-* Remove changelog view, as nor cubicweb nor known cubes/applications were properly
- feeding related files
+* The RQL search bar has now some auto-completion support. It means
+ relation types or entity types can be suggested while typing. It is
+ an awesome improvement over the current behaviour !
+
+* The `action box` associated with `table` views (from `tableview.py`)
+ has been transformed into a nice-looking series of small tabs; it
+ means that the possible actions are immediately visible and need not
+ be discovered by clicking on an almost invisible icon on the upper
+ right.
+
+* The `uicfg` module has moved to web/views/ and ui configuration
+ objects are now selectable. This will reduce the amount of
+ subclassing and whole methods replacement usually needed to
+ customize the ui behaviour in many cases.
