while constructing I miss often that one cannot insert directly rounded rectangles. As it is, one needs first to insert a rectangle, then go to fillet mode, then click 4 times, then set equal constraint, then often also replace the vertical/horizontal constraints since a rectangle must not necessarily be parallel to a sketch axis
As solution this PR adds rounded rectangles in one step. This saves a lot of time since this object is e.g. often used for milled rectangular pockets, for 3D-printed pads etc.
As discussed I grouped the rectangle and rounded rectangle.
Renamed Sketcher_AlterConstruction.svg to

The link support means that an object can now appear in more than one
places, and even inside a document different from its own. This patch
adds support for in-place editing, meaning that the object can be edited
at correct place regardless where it is.
See [here](https://git.io/fjPIk) for more info about the relavent APIs.
This patch includes two example of modifications to support in-place
editing. One is the ViewProviderDragger, which simply adds the dragger
node to editing root node by calling
View3DInventorViewer::setupEditingRoot(dragger). The other much more
complex one is ViewProviderSketch which calls setupEditingRoot(0) to
transfer all its children node into editing root. ViewProviderSketch
also includes various modifications to command invocation, because we
can no longer assume the active document is the owner of the editing
object.
This patch also includes necessary modification of the 'Show' module to
support in-place editing.
===============================================
It is a long felt need that redundant constraints are not generated while autoconstraining.
The solver sketcher in v0.17 is überpicky with redundants due to the new popularity contest algorithm. The former behaviour is exhacerbated.
This new mode enables automatic redundant constraint removal.
In UI operations IN EDIT MODE, upon detection of redundancy by the solver, the Sketcher will remove all redundant constraints detected by that solve.
This makes the sketcher much less annoying.
How to test this?
The easiest example is to create a vertical line. Then make the endpoints symmetric with respect to the horizontal axis. Without this mode,
the vertical constraint and the symmetry constraint are redundant. With this mode, the vertical constraint gets automatically removed by the Sketcher.
=======================================
- Fixing toggle AutoUpdate Mode
- Fix Auto-Update Sketcher tools
- Fix missing createGeo recomputes
- Missing constraints recomputes fixed
Various fixes for non-Update mode:
- Fixes lack of update upon entering a conflicting datum constraint.
- Fixes lack of update upon setting the reference/driving status of a constraint
- Added tooltips to buttons
==================================================================================
Geometry button:
- if no object selected, the legacy toggle icon has a new functionality, switch to/from creating in construction mode
- if object selected, it has the legacy functionality
- the button can be clicked during "continuos creation mode" to switch from creating to/from creating in construction mode
Constraint button:
- The button is not selectable if nothing is selected (it would be impossible to determine the effect)
- When constraints are selected, the button toggles the constraints to/from Driving.
- When geometry is selected, the button switches from/to reference mode, the change is apparent from the color of the constraint icons.
Continuous creation mode:
- Default changed so that it is active unless you change it in settings
Updated terminology
