A projection suggestion is an item in a suggestion menu like a normal suggestion but will insert a substitution when chosen for completion. With this patch, projections appear with a small preview in the suggestions menu that should make the choice more intuitive for users.
Besides, on the class-side protocol of st substitutions, #instanceSuggestion is extracted which answers a factory block for a new instance, making it easier for subclasses to provide their suggestions.
Suggestions are added to the substitutions memoize, point, language box, regex, and toggled code.

Open issues (ideally to be addressed while/before merging this):
[ ] Previewed blocks are not styled correctly (note that I replaced them by an #imageForm as a simple way of locking them with all their submorphs against any kind of event handling - is there a better way to do this?)
Ideas for later:
Union the knowledge bases from instanceSuggestions and palettes
Provide these suggestions without using the explicit protocol from the substitutions classes. For instance, String >> #asRegex could also be completed with the regex substitution, or Color >> #red/#green/#r:g:b:/whatever else could be completed with a color substitution. As a general, is there already an "automatic substitution" mode? :)
