Huggle: replace slow QTextBrowser with QPlainTextEdit in HAN window

Huggle is a popular tool intended for dealing with vandalism and other unconstructive edits on Wikimedia projects, written in C++ using the Qt framework.

Right now the HAN Window (vandalnw.ui / vandalnw.cpp / vandalnw.hpp) use QTextBrowser in order to render text. That GUI component is very slow and should be replaced with much faster QPlainTextEdit.
