Mockup

Here is a (first) mockup. It adds the request of nested styles (bug 115311 c5)
that makes a combination of paragraph and character styles necessary and the
styles inspector from bug 112852, see also bug 90646). And takes also bug 94427
into account (see comment at the styles inspector).

The actual requirements for all those tickets are:
* Eve wants to use paragraph and character styles to properly format the
document.
* Eve wants to get insights to applied styles to format the document
consistently.
* Eve wants to apply styles easily meaning to organize, sort, and filter the
lists.
* Eve wants to see what properties a style has to make sure the applied variant
is correct.

While the mockup in bug 115311 shows more or less all properties, I went here
with the difference to the parent style to cover with the limited space. That
means Default would always have no information in the style indicator. Drawback
is that some special children of Text Body, for example, with just have one
different property list only this particular value.

For the document, it's a bit confusing to highlight character styles, eg.
"Slowly" has a background color (direct formatting here, shown as gray
overlay), which would spoil the yellow indicator. The only ultimate solution is
to also have character styles at the left "indicator line", toggled with
paragraph information. I don't think that's a good solution, however.
