Add a drop-down showing all matches when typing in the algorithm dock widget

Description

This is a suggestion rather than an improvement I consider essential.

I think it would be nicer if instead of just showing the first match as you type in the algorithm box, a (selectable) drop-down automatically appeared showing all the matches for what you've typed so far - like it does for the search box in the top-right of your internet browser. This is along the lines of what we have for the python intellisense (though that doesn't update as you continue to type).

One possible way to implement this can be found here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/network-googlesuggest.html

If we want to keep the combobox that we already have and filter that, then the answer might be here: http://www.qtcentre.org/archive/index.php/t-23143.html

(In [11053]) Easy first step - pop up matching algorithms when typing name. Only matches on start of word though. Re #1894.
