[sugar] [PATCH] Browse - Find in Page

Hi,

this patch adds an entry field and a previous and next button to the edit toolbar 
to search in the context. You can use (ctrl+f) to focus the search entry in the 
edit toolbar. The find is typeahead. Hitting 'Enter' will find the next occurrence.

I used the xpcom interface nsITypeAheadFind since it allows find() and findAgain() 
compared to nsIWebBrowserFind.

Open questions:
  - what feedback do we give when no occurrence was found (firefox paints the entry 
red)
  - do we provide shortcuts for next and previous (firefox uses ctrl+g for findAgain)

Best,
    Simon
