eliminate more child to parent signal/slot connections

* main-window.cc (create_default_editor): Delete.

* file-editor.h, file-editor.cc (file_editor::update_gui_lexer_signal,
file_editor::execute_command_in_terminal_signal,
file_editor::focus_console_after_command_signal,
file_editor::run_file_signal, file_editor::edit_mfile_request,
file_editor::debug_quit_signal): New signals.
(file_editor::make_file_editor_tab): Instead of connecting signals
from the tab to parent object slots, forward through new file_editor
signals.
* main-window.cc (main_window::main_window): Connect file_editor
signals to main_window slots here.
(file_editor::find_create, file_editor::is_editor_console_tabbed,
file_editor::empty_script): Use parentWidget instead of calling
main_win.

I had to delete the `octave-gui.ini` file each time when switching the
revision.
But changing the editor fonts seems to work reliably before that change and
fails (or is less reliable?) after that change.
Once the `octave-gui.ini` file is corrupt(?) by changing the fonts without
success, there is no way of reliably changing the fonts even with a revision
that seems to work correctly with a "fresh" `octave-gui.ini` file.
