Rich Text Support

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

I fully agree and I don't think such a control should be part of the
OpenJFX but should live in an other library.

/me thinks OpenJFX should not get *ANY* new controls (I would even argue
that the current controls should be split out) but provide the core APIs
needed to implement them.
