chat log is redrawn on every mouse move event resulting in high CPU load

Description
When you move the mouse cursor over the right column of the chat log, the hovered line is redrawn on every move without changing the look, which results in high CPU load. This does not occur in the time and the nick column.
Steps to reproduce:- activate the kwin-effect which highlights redrawn areas (in German: “Extras”/“Zeichnungsbereiche hervorheben”); alternatively just watch the current CPU load
- move the mouse over the right column of the chat log
This problem is not bound to version 0.6.1 of quassel, I also noticed it in earlier versions.

Cache ChatLine layout data for visible chatlines
Up to now, we've computed e.g. the text layout for a chatline on the fly. This
happens surprisingly often, for example whenever the mouse is moved. As a result,
moving the mouse (among other things) caused high CPU load.
We now cache such data within the chatitems until the chatline goes out of view, in
which case the cache is cleared in order to not waste space needlessly.
Fixes #954.
