[FEATURE][locator] Add quick calculator (expression evaluator) to
locator bar

Allows evaluation of simple expressions (well, actually ANY QGIS
expression... so you could use aggregates and the like if you
wanted!) by entering "= " followed by an expression into the
locator bar. If a valid expression is entered, the user is given
an option to copy the result to the clipboard

E.g. entering

"= 10/3" gives an entry "Copy '3.3333333' to clipboard".

Inspired by the same feature in Qt Creator 4.6
