* Materials: Model Manager External Interface
Implement the ModelManagerExternal class for the external Materials
interface.
This is part of the ongoing merges of code to support external material
interfaces. In this PR the ModelManagerExternal class is implemented,
along with changes to supporting classes required for this class.

* Core: Introduce PDF Import-Export dialog
Currently, we only have hardcoded exporting to one pdf version, which
leads to (as in one of the below issues) to problems, such as
non-transparent layers, which are by default not supported in PDF/A-1b.
So, this patch adds an option to the user to select their preferred PDF
version by introducing new dialog under Import-Export in Preferences,
and allowing to update that version before exporting.
* Core: Add informational messages regarding selected PDF format
* Gui: Handle Qt < 6.8 unsupported PDF format
* Gui: Switch PDF export prefs dialog to use tr()
* Gui: Remove center alignment of PDF version description

* add precision Parameter for importSVG to preferences
* rewrite svgpath import
reorganize the existing svg interpretation code snippets by dividing the responsibilities for data provision and actual shape generation.
That bears the opportunity to optimize the resulting construction data regarding consistency and precision.
* create cuts from inner paths
organize paths in a tree structure where completely contained paths are children of their sorrounding paths
In a second step the even depth paths are cut with their respective (uneven depth) children.
* move svg path import logic into its own module
* Restructure how the import result is controlled by preferences.
* reintroduce alternative transform function
Using transformGeometry() on shapes results in degenerations like lines mutating to bsplines of 1st order. For non-orthogonal Transformations this can't be avoided. But for orthogonal transformations (the majority) we can apply those transformations without degeneration.
The necessary function including fallback to transformGeometry() is already in the code but was disabled due to a regression.

I reactivate the code since the degeneration of paths seems a bigger issue to me than misformed svg files producing incorrect measurements. Degenrated paths are often the culprit for later arising 3D-calculation errors.
* avoid path degeneration by keeping scale transformations uniform
* repair style application on shapes
the style should be based on the configured svgstyle mode in the svgimport preferences.
* improve logging of face generation.
* refactor: rename _precision_step to _tolerance
naming according to example set in draft utils.
* fix: indentation
* spelling
If a window is a variant Link there will be a hidden source object in the document. That hidden object shares properties with the visible Link object. The Hosts property may be one of them, yet the hidden object should never be hosted.

To test the code:
1. Open the mentioned sample file.
2. Change the Hosts property of Window001 to Wall.
3. Recompute.
Improvement to User Interactive Experience:
- Now with the stock BIM Window Interactive Tool and SketchArch-addon, the required SketchArch parametric placement information of an Arch Object (Window currently) are automatically completed, no more manual input is required.

* BIM: Improve grid handling for some commands
The updated commands did not handle the 2 grid options ("always", "only during commands") correctly. The proposed code follows the example of BimWall.py and ArchStructure.py where this issue has already been addressed.
* Rebase
For some reason PropertyEnumeration in our type information system was
said to be inherited from App::PropertyInteger, wich is not the case.
This commit fixes that mistake.
If PR consists of one commit with long description, github does put it
as the first lines of PR so above our header, it can result in inconsistencies.
The header is also needlessly duplicated in every PR preview.
