Create a new dialog

Creating a new dialog requires the following steps:

1. Create a new dialog in src/ui/dialogs (you can find inspiration from the existing dialogs).
2. Register your dialog in src/dialogs/dialog-manager.cpp.
3. In src/verbs.cpp, create a new verb (new DialogVerb) and associate it (DialogVerb::perform) with the dialog's registered name to perform the appropriate action. Also include your dialog's header in the verbs.cpp file.
4. If needed, map the new verb to the preferences (SPDesktop::show_dialogs() in src/desktop.cpp).
5. Call the dialog from the appropriate location with dt->_dlg_mgr->showDialog("mydialog"), dt being the current SPDesktop.
