"Declutter the headerbar"

Germán Poo-Caamaño requested to merge gpoo/evince:475-declutter-the-headerbar into master
  • Remove EvHistoryAction widget from the Headerbar. The actions are not always active, and therefore, not a primary action that deserves to be always on spot.
  • Integrate the history functionality in the EvPageActionWidget through a Popover menu.
  • Move the navigation menu items from the View menu into EvPageActionWidget.

By removing EvHistoryAction widget, there is more space for the title in the Headerbar, and it looks less overwhelming.

However, these changes introduces a regression: the HistoryAction widget had a menu where the user could select where to jump in the history.

It was a hidden feature, that may or may not be missed. However, to improve its usability, it could be reintroduced later as another item in the sidebar, and/or with a keyboard shortcut (document in the help overlay).

Fixes #475 (closed)
