This variable overrides history user data, which makes the current
article and position restoring code in ArticleView::loadFinished()
difficult to understand.
Encode the same logic in the history user data instead. This should make
the code more straightforward and less brittle in the face of changes.
MainWindow calls ArticleView::reload() when the group list is updated.
This updating may add/remove/reorder dictionaries in the active group.
MainWindow also calls ArticleView::reload() when the display or addon
style changes.
In both of the above scenarios uncontrolled jumps and current article
change can occur (see also the parent commit message).
Move setting articleToJump from above the only ArticleView's reload()
call into ArticleView::reload() itself.
This way it is clearer that the pages history is updated just before
each navigation to a different page.
The call to ArticleView::saveHistoryUserData() now occurs slightly later
in ArticleView::showDefinition(). I don't think the intervening code can
affect the current article or window position. So the reordering most
likely does not affect application behavior.

Qt WebKit Bridge documentation recommends:
When exposing native objects to an open web environment, it is
important to understand the security implications. Think whether the
exposed object enables the web environment access things that
shouldn't be open, and whether the web content loaded by that web page
comes from a trusted source.
The author of Qt WebChannel has said the following in a talk that
introduced this Qt module (WebKit Bridge replacement for Qt WebEngine):
My suggestion here is to write dedicated QObjects with a slim, minimal
API that only have the signals and methods that you deem safe to be
used from the outside.

When the current article is set and the user expands or collapses
optional parts (e.g. via the Ctrl+* shortcut),
ArticleView::setCurrentArticle() is called twice from
ArticleView::loadFinished(). Furthermore, the window scroll position is
restored before the second jump. This is wasteful. Move the
higher-priority setCurrentArticle() call up and, if it succeeds, skip
the other call and the scrolling.
I have measured the time spent running the affected code fragment on my
GNU/Linux system before and at this commit. When the loaded articles are
not very large, the performance gain of this commit is only about 1 ms.
However, when one of the displayed articles was huge (the
"United States" English Wikipedia article), the time went from 120 ms to
5 ms.
Extracting this function allows to simplify the code and facilitates
optimizing it in the next commit.
Remove `#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040600` along the way as GoldenDict does not
support Qt versions older than 4.6 for several years now.
Preferences::sanitizeInputPhrase() transforms an input phrase by
removing its whitespace/punctuation prefix and suffix. Translating a
phrase from X11 primary selection or from clipboard, via mouse-over or
from the command line results in such sanitization. This is useful when
a punctuation mark or a space is selected accidentally alongside a word.
This sanitization can be undesirable, however, when an abbreviated word
is selected. For example: "etc.", "e.g.", "i.e.".
This commit implements searching for the input word with the punctuation
suffix preserved as an alternative form of the sanitized word to show
articles for both. For example, when the word "etc." is translated from
the clipboard, both "ETC" and "etc." articles are displayed.
The punctuation suffix is preserved when the word is passed from the
scan popup to the main window and when the translate line text is
refreshed (e.g. when the current group is changed). The suffix is not
stored in history and favorites (doing so would require file format
changes and possibly substantial code changes, this can be implemented
later if need be).
Trim the input phrase once in ArticleNetworkAccessManager::getResource()
instead of verbose trimming in multiple places in
ArticleMaker::makeDefinitionFor().
Closes #1350.
The article view focus is necessary to navigate a word definition via
keyboard rather than mouse. The shortcut - Ctrl+N - is the same as
the one in the main window for the corresponding action.
