Fixed problem in calling TRulesFactory.Construct overload that took a singe TBaseComparator parameter when the parameter object was created on the fly. The compiler cannot always detect the correct overload to call. This was fixed by converting the parameter type to IComparator and using a uniquely named factory method.

Revised TRulesFactory as TRulesFactory<T> and removed "<T>" from method names.
Also modified TRulesFactory<T> implementation.

Added new TBaseComparator<T> abstract class that all IComparator<T> implementations must descend from.
Modified existing comparator classes to descend from TBaseComparator<T>.
Added new TRulesFactory method-only record that provide method that can create TRules<T> records from a comparator or set of comparison and hasher closures.

Tidied up uses clauses and removed unused unit references.

Added cue text for source code editor frame.

Added support for cue text in the code editor by changing the class of the SynEdit control from TSynEdit to TSynEditEx and adding a TextHint property to the frame class which aliases the TSynEditEx.TextHint property.

Also added a new SetFocus method to the frame class that passes focus on to the SynEdit control when the frame gets focus.

Added new TSynEditEx method that sub-classes TSynEdit to add support for cue text via a new TextHint property.

Set focussed control of source code label to be source code editor frame.

Limited length of a snippet title to 64 characters.
Made this limit available as TSnippetBase.MaxTitleLength constant.
Modified TSnippetsEditorDlg to use this constant instead of hard wiring maximum length of title edit control.
Added test for maximum title length to TSnippetValidator.ValidateTitle.

Set maximum length of snippet title to 64 characters.
