Clear should prompt "Stop Searching?"

Bug Description

When I have made a search, the listing appears in the window below. However when qbittorrent is still searching and I hit the "clear" button, the search still goes on. This is confusing to the user as they might have hit the "clear" button and typed in a new search term and all of a sudden they see a search result being populated which will not be the search string they are currently typing.

I suggest that when the user hit the "Clear" button, prompt ("stop search? Yes/No") the user to clear the currently "active" search. If there is no search currently "active" then there need not be any prompt.

Also after hitting the "clear" button, it would be convenient for the users mouse to focus on the search input box with the currently searched string "selected", so they can straight away start typing a new search term.

BTW, where do I open feature requests?

You are right. However, this would require a new translation, hence I can't add it in v1.0. It will be for next release then. In the meantime, should I simply stop the search when clear button is hit?

I don't use a prompt because i think the user doesn't need one.

If there is no prompt, then we can merge the change in stable branch (v1.0.0).
