==============================================================================
In the Layers implementation there are User Layers, which have no direct impact on visualisation,
and allow to group conceptually related geometry into logical entities, and Visual Layers, which
define how geometries are visualised (or even whether they are visualised or not).
For User Layers, SketchObject is responsible for the definition of the layers, and SketcherGeometryExtension
is responsible for indicating the User Layer to which a geometry belongs (via a LayerId field).
For Visual Layers, ViewProviderSketch is responsible for the definition of the visual layers, and
ViewProviderSketchGeometryExtension is responsible for indicating the visual layer to which a geometry belongs.
With this commit, ViewProviderSketchGeometryExtension:
- takes over the responsibility of carrying a visual layer Id.
- is extended to be persistent and serialise the Id.
- is extended to be accesible from Python.
==========================================================
Previously for Weights, ViewProviderSketch used getScaleFactor. This caused that upon zoom change
the Weights would not increase progresively, rather the would grow on the next redraw. Additionally,
upon substantial zoom out, the poles would grow several times bigger than the B-Spline.
This commit uses a new geometry extension intended only for ViewProviderSketch, to store a geometry
specific representation scale factor. This is calculated as a function of the B-Spline length. The
extension does not serialise to disk. It is just intended for runtime.
Dragging from the edge when the radius is constrained gives a wrong cosmetic result, because the representation circle and the
real value of the weight are different (by a scale factor). This commit prevents dragging on the edge in the most representative
cases where the radius is constrained.

Fix so that when applying a coincident constraint to a plurality of points,
if one constraint on a couple of points exists, no new coincident constraint is
added to this couple.

Implementation of:
- Switch on 'Z' instead of 'Shift'
- Checkbox to select whether element internal name (e.g. Edge10) should be presented on list or not (Sponssi requested)
- Checkbox to force going back to "Edge" type on change from one element to the next (Sponssi requested)

TaskSketcher Elements:
- Store Vertex within elements for optimization (reduce loops searching for vertex in every function call)
- Added the accelerators described below + Toggle Construction as context menu commands
- Fixed bug (Thanks sponssi!): After some element has been preselected from the list and the cursor moved to the drawing area,
the preselection doesn't seem to be resetted in the widget or whereever it is handled.
Tapping shift still swaps the preselection between the points of the previously selected element.
The left mouse button has to be clicked in the draw area to get rid of this.

- Extended naming of elements, to facilitate writing python code (as requested by sponssi).
- Minor modifications (creation of utility fuctions, code readibility, ...)
Sketcher Workbench:
- First effort to add a toolbar with the accelerators.
Sketcher Accelerators: (Perform actions on existing elements, as opposed to Geometry Creation, not restricted to applying constraints)
- Close Shape : of selected edges (i.e. lines and arcs)
- Connect : selected edges (connect endpoint edge with starting point of next edge according to selection order)
- Select Constraints : associated with currently selected edges

New alternative implementation of the Sketch Element List.
This version comprises:
- Identification via icon of type of geometric element (Point, Arc, Line, Circle) and
Type of selection (Edge, Starting Point, End Point, Center Point)
- Corrected a bug where upon selection from the combobox, the icons were not updated (Thanks Jim!)
- Implementation of jump to next valid type of last preselected element (aka fast-forward) for all the types.

Feature request by jmaustpc
- When an object does not have an element, lets put a different icon.
- Currently the constraint lock icon is used until availability of a new one.

Fast-Forward functionality:
- If an element not having "midpoint" is preselected, then on pressing SHIFT the
Type will jump from EndPoint to Line skipping midpoint.
- This is intended as a productivity feature, as most sketch elements usually are lines

Bug fix (thanks jmaustpc)
- Preselection is maintained even though the geometric element does not have the "Type".
- Fix involves calling for remove preselection in TaskSketcherElement
- Implementing the response to the message RmvPreselection in ViewProviderSketch

New widget for the Taskbar of the Sketcher WB.
The objectives of this widget are:
1. Allow editing of sketches when they have (partially) overlapping lines of any type
(construction/external/normal).
2. Allow the construction of sketches using the keyboard (less mouse intensive)
The widget works as follows:
1. A QListWidget presents a list of elements, element is here a geometric element
formed Types edges, starting points, end points and midpoints (e.g. circles, arcs)
2. On hovering/Entering one item in the list, it is preselected for easy identification.
3. The selection can be switched from one type to another using the SHIFT key
(press and release) in a round-robin fashion (or you can select it using the droplist)
4. Selection of different types is possible (e.g. two points and a line).
5. The contextual menu accessible by right click allow to apply a constraint to the
selection.
6. The constraints in the contextual menu have shortcuts, so you can actually use the
shortcut directly from the QListWidget.
Additional features introduced to other parts during development...
- New color introduced for Types that are selected and preselected at the same time
- Edges is a SoLineSet. You can not apply many So modifiers (width,offset) to parts of a SoLineSet.
An edge part of a SoLineSet that is drawn after another one, covers it unless it is closer to the
camera. The system of manual offsets already in place for points has been extended to properly
handle (i.e. show) overlapping lines part of a SoLineSet.
