Help: Add fallback word lookup for context help to base text editor

If we do not have a hover handler, or that did not produce any result,
use the word under cursor and try with that.
This adds at least some help fallback mechanism to all text editors,
e.g. we get some context help (though a bit crude) for Pyside
"for free".
