Assistant synchronous task handling and polishing

[juliushaertl]

from #4627

• Implement synchronous tasks
• Smaller polishing
  • use notifications for triggering fetch instead of polling
  • FAB on mobile
  • How to handle markdown vs plain text
  • Dismiss notifications
  • merge translate to it and just move the actions to popover directly
  • Think about the making it show/hide depending on the mouse cursor (gdocs)

Additionally:

• Decide what to do when the assistant returns a completed task immediately (new sync flow).

As discussed in the call

• Assistant will offer a flag to close the modal after a successful sync task
  • Can be used to directly insert and act with a sync result in text (e.g. when generating text on an empty line)
  • If a task is switched from sync to async the promise resolves as usual with the task but the info about the scheduled task is shown no matter if the close modal flag is set or not
• The main promise always resolves the task with its current status
• There will be a list of action buttons that can be provided through the openAssistantForm parameters
  • Can be used in text to offer insert/replace actions on the result screen

If there are any design questions regarding this, @nimishavijay is the expert since she worked on the current implementation. :)

@juliushaertl I have checked the repo Assistant app but seems like it still does not provide these functions:

• There is no event or public function to close the modal after a successful sync task
• There are no parameters for a list of action buttons that can be provided through the openAssistantForm parameters
