Enhance the Style and Navigator views, add more hierachical options

In the case of Styles, I'd like to see the "hierarchical" choice be taken out of the combo box -- IMHO _all_ style views should be hierarchical, even page styles. This can be handled in an interesting manner, via syntactic coloring of items. For example, if the user wanted to see custom styles, everything could still be shown in a hierarchical manner, but the native, non-custom styles could be shown "grayed out" or a lighter gray color which indicates it is not a custom style... See also my comment for #4796.
I do not think, that the view in the Styles window should always be hierarchical - sometimes one may wish to have an alphabetical list of the styles. So I would prefer to add a button, that toggles between hierarchical and alphabetical view.
A button would be acceptable to me, also. But I still would like to see Styles hierarchical in some manner for all subtypes (including character and page styles).
