2.8.0: UX/UI refreshment

[HugoFara]

This somehow shorter release brings a bunch of small but important fixes, and a much better responsive design (it'll both look nicer on your phone and 4K TV!).

Added

• Responsive design improved: LWT gets easier to visualize on phone and big screens!

Changed

• The language settings wizard is now open by default on new language creation.
• Potential breaking change in the way words are displayed while reading. The target was to make the code more robust.
• item_parser and echo_term in do_text_text.php now both takes an optional $expr argument.
• Terms import form changed for a simpler presentation. It becomes easier to use to use on your phone.
• Many tables are now displayed larger (when your screen has the available space).
• Updated composer dependencies.

Fixed

• Removed warnings: dictionaries URL without query do no longer raise warnings.
• Feeds:
  • Click "New Text" on the first page of do_feeds.php had no effect. Changed to "New Feed".
  • Step 2 of feed wizard was sometimes failing because $_SESSION['wizard']['host'] was a string an not an array.
  • Type error in get_links_from_new_feed was breaking step 2 of feed wizard.
  • Loading feeds could result in malformed SQL, see Newsfeed isn't working as expected #100. Thanks @maanh96 for the hint!
• Docker: media/ was neither accessible nor saved to a container (Mapping media/ with a volume for Docker #106). Thanks to @parradam for signaling and solving the issue!
• On creating a language, the Glosbe dictionary comes with a "?lwt_popup=1" to open in new window by default.
• Japanese pronunciation: works even if the language is not exactly called "Japanese", see [not a bug?] MeCab can't be used for word splitting and pronunciation unless the language is named exactly "Japanese" #103.
• Expressions containing word feature repaired! Expressions containing word do not display #90.
• On text-to-speech settings, the region was often not displayed.

Full Changelog

• 2.7.0...2.8.0
