Reorganized connection dialog for much improved ease of use.

-Removed dest path field
-Added a "Source" signal
-Added an "Advanced" button to hide complexity
-Fix bug on Tree to make sure "ensure visible" works on hidden trees
-Fix bug on TextEdit to ensure signals created with script not open sill focus the right line
