Spyder: Add an easy way to toggle read-only status of the current file in the editor

I work with VCS software that tends to check out files as read-only. There's a feature in several other editors that allows the user to easily toggle the read-only flag of the file. Spyder needs this feature too.

A good point to take into account for the future redesign of the Editor widget

I think that's independant from the future redesign of the editor.

Again, a good idea from Steve.
And for the same reason as issue #790 , I'm scheduling it for v2.2.

I think the easiest way to do this would be to make the status widget clickable (it already is) so that a QMenu is displayed and the option can be changed there.
