Support alternative display formats in the Browse Data tab
This is a proof-of-concept or even a basic first implementation of a new feature I'd like to have in DB4S which at the moment I call display formats. The idea here is to allow the user to change the data in the Browse Data tab on a per column basis before displaying it. This means even though the data is stored in format X in the database it can be shown in format Y in the browser. This should be useful in cases where the original format X is hard to read or just not useful in a particular case. This first implementation allows the user to right click on the header of a column and open a new dialog for setting the display format which offers a (limited) list of pre-defined formats. The selected format is then integrated into the SELECT statement which is sent to SQLite. While it works, this draft implementation lacks a number of features. Here are the most prominent ones I'm currently aware of: * Data not editable (or only via the Edit Dialog) because it isn't transformed back yet. * More display formats needed; maybe customizable ones, too. * No indication in the UI for which columns a format has been set. * Could _maybe_ be integrated into the import/export etc. for optional use.
