I don't really want to add on_sci_notify() as a plugin symbol because I 
think most plugins won't use it.

I've got a signals system working for sci-notify, but I think it is too 
slow - I notice the delay between typing and the display updating. This 
is probably because a new signal is emitted in on_editor_notification() 
when receiving sci-notify from the Scintilla widget.

I had another idea - what if Geany just sent a new-document signal when 
documents are created or opened, then the plugin can manually connect 
to sci-notify of the document::sci ScintillaObject. This might be 
neater if the plugin only wants notifications for documents of a 
certain filetype.
