Add a suggestion's list to TextEntry Widget

[flef]

As previously discussed, this PR aims to provide a list of suggestions based on what the user types in a TextEntry Widget.

• The PV is only written when pressing the key (same behavior than before) or when a suggestion is selected
• Possibility to allow or disallow values outside the list of suggestions (via an option)
• Different search algorithms (startswith, fuzzy, contains)
• A more comprehensive example page detailing all the options

Here's the demo page from Home menu :

This looks very interesting!

If I understand the feature correctly it allows to define a list 100 entries for the text entry widget and the autocomplete works on that list and there are the configuration options as listed in the screenshot.

As I was not part of the previous discussions on this topic, I am curious: can you list some use-cases/examples where you want (or already are) using this feature?

Thanks,

A list of 100 items or more (there is actually no limitation). The image is taken from the previous discussion, in which I proposed creating a new widget. We ultimately decided it would be more appropriate to merge the "suggestion" functionality into the existing TextEntry widget.

The TextEntry demo display (controls_textentry.bob) as been updated with all the new possibilities.
