Fixes #1069 by implementing the suggestions there.

See commit messages for details. tl;dr: the goto-symbols popup will show more of the paths, but as little as possible. The common prefix is stripped and the longest common sub-path is ellipsized.

Example: Assume the popup would show utils.h twice (/home/kugel/geany.git/src/utils.h and /home/kugel/geany.git/build/dest/include/geany/utils.h.

The popup would show:
src/utils.h
build/dest/include/geany/utils.h

Additionally, as per @elextr suggestion and for a frequent use-case of mine, the ellipsis is introduced for long common substrings, which I often have due to having the same code base checked out multiple times (my workflow at work requires this).

So, /home/kugel/checkout_a/path/to/project/src/main.c and /home/kugel/checkout_b/path/to/project/src/main.c shows as:
checkout_a/.../main.c
checkout_b/.../main.c
