[design] make impresswriter app instead of two

Currently the problem is despite all the similarites those apps (writer, 
impress) have so much different UI. Without any benefit.

What's more -- there are two apps. And let's list the differences (I mean, 
serious):
* in impress you can have transitions between objects (an element can appear 
in the page after clicking, or next slide can appear)
* in writer there is how many page this content will take notion, in impress 
you have how tiny font is required to get this content on N pages

And... that's it, right?

So please add to writer:
* slide presentation mode
* transition attributes for objects
* auto-fit mode, so text would not leak to another page, but it will be 
shrinked instead

The rest is importing templates. This way the user could work with tables, 
graphics, video, etc. without any worrying if this should be presentation or 
publication.

What's more the change (publication->presentation) would be much easier 
because of the same exactly UI.

I think those apps are so close in features that it is a pity they are so far 
away in UIs and how this features are delivered (compare inserting tables, the 
same object, fundamentally different behaviour -- no benefits, rather a lot of 
harm).
