Bug Description

To treat the use case of opening a movie linked in a presentation prepared using BEAMER using an external viewer, please add support for execution links. Treat them as links to URL and give them to QDesktopServices::openUrl which should execute the default program to open the corresponding file type. To handle relative paths, URL need to be resolved like links to external documents are.

I also extended the branch to move knowledge about when a page and hence document were modified into the annotation and form field objects, e.g. saving a file attachment won't mark the document as modified. This necessitated moving around some signals for all annotations and form fields, so please try to test this for general regressions w.r.t. to these as well. Thanks.

And as another thing to make this more useful, there is no a setting to open a file attachment immediately after saving it...

Hi, I tested the branch with the two files linked in https://answers.launchpad.net/qpdfview/+question/237323 and it worked. I tested on Unity with totem, so it would probably be interesting if somebody could test it with other desktop settings.
