improve encapsulation of command window object * terminal-dockwidget.h, terminal-dockwidget.cc (terminal_dock_widget::terminal): New data member. (terminal_dock_widget::terminal_dock_widget): Delete QTerminal argument. Initialize QTerminal object here. Connect terminal_dock_widget::notice_settings_signal to QTerminal::notice_settings. Connect terminal_dock_widget::relay_command_signal to Qterminal::relay_command. Connect terminal_dock_widget::copyClipboard_signal to Qterminal::copyClipboard. Connect terminal_dock_widget::pasteClipboard_signal to Qterminal::pasteClipboard. (terminal_dock_widget::connect_visibility_changed, terminal_dock_widget::focus, terminal_dock_widget::handle_visibility, terminal_dock_widget::notice_settings, terminal_dock_widget::relay_command, terminal_dock_widget::copyClipboard, terminal_dock_widget::pasteClipboard): New functions. terminal_dock_widget::notice_settings_signal, terminal_dock_widget::relay_command_signal, terminal_dock_widget::copyClipboard_signal, terminal_dock_widget::pasteClipboard_signal): New signals. * main-window.h, main-window.cc (main_window::command_window): Rename from main_window::_terminal_dock_widget. Don't use a pointer. Change all uses. (main_window::main_window): Initialize it here. (main_window::~main_window): Don't delete _terminal_dock_widget. (main_window::relay_command_signal main_window::focus_command_window_signal): New signals. (main_window::handle_command_double_clicked): Emit relay_command_signal, and focus_command_window_signal signals instead of calling focus_command_window. (main_window::focus_command_window): Emit focus_command_window_signal singal instead of performing actions on _terminal_dock_widget object directly. (main_window::handle_command_window_visible): Delete. (main_window::connect_visibility_changed): Call command_window.connect_visibility_changed instead of performing actions here. (main_window::construct): Don't create _terminal_dock_widget. Adapt signal/slot connections for new command_window object.
