Example screenshot from iTerm2

SUMMARY

Add support for setting and showing static/dynamic text on console view. While tab name provides similar functionality, the badge (name taken from iTerm2, see screenshot) is much more prominent and easier to detect.

Thus doesn't seems hard to develop (but the screenshoot is really bad and I
wonder what would happen if text is overlaying the badge).
Still, Would you like to help developing this? From your other bug report
you are a software developer, so I guess it's not hard for you to try to
send your first patch. :)

Example from iTerm2 with long text

Thanks for the encouragement, will have to consider it :) I have a long history in SW development but haven't yet looked into Qt/KDE development. Added another example from iTerm2 with long text: Apparently, that application does wrap and resize the text automatically as needed. Also, the badge is shown _below_ the actual text, thus preventing issues with the actual content.
