Desktop: create new custom TextEdit widget for notes-field

Currently, the notes field uses a QTextEdit, which doesn't
send a signal if it goes out of focus.  But for undo of
dive-editing we don't want to create an undo object for
*every* text change.

Thus, create a custom TextEdit widget that derives from
QTextEdit and turns the focusOutEvent into a editingFinished
signal.
