========================================================
With the possibility to increase icon sizes via font configuration, the
default hardcoded 2.5 step for seeking the constraint position becomes too
small, causing constraints, specially when multi-icon, to superimpose geometry points,
removing the ability to pick them.
Changing the default gives some increased room for icon size.

when a value is theoretically exact it must not have a tolerance
This PR
* fixes this
* also fixes the bug that OverTolerance must not be negative if the tolerances are equal
when adding GD&T statements as described in https://wiki.freecadweb.org/TechDraw_Geometric_dimensioning_and_tolerancing
You will quickly get a lot of balloons and it is then very tiring to be forced to first select a balloon with a single-click in the drawing, then go to the model tree and there double-click to get the dialog.
This PR also removes unused includes from the dialog code.

A previous commit assumed values for lineWidths and pointSizes were integers. This commit fixes this.
- the setting "Standard and Style" only affects new dimensions, thus it must be italic
- fix bug that the Property 'LockPosition' appears for dimensions -> this is an option for views and thus must be hidden for dimensions
- since tolerances are in the vast majority fractions of a millimeter/inch, set its stepsize to 0.1
(I hope I did it right in handleChangedPropertyType.)
- fix inconsistent newlines in TaskBalloon.h
- improve wording for a heading
=========================================================================================
- Long overdue refactor to avoid repetition during save/restore and copy.
- New interface to notify an extension when it is attached. It also enables the extension to gain
a pointer to the geometry container. This is intended to extend the functionality already existing
in Part::Geometry.
the common rule is that if a dimension has equal over- and undertolerance, they are output on the same line as the dimension concatenated using the ± character.
This PR does this.
Note that this is not just cosmetics, it is even standardized in the GD&T norms.
also:
* use one format specifier for tolerances since the norms don't allow a different format for the over- and the undertolerance
* some code optimizations like a self-explaining function name, remove unnecessary/outdated comments
==================================================
In addition to the font size in pixels, which controls the 3D View font size (and indirectly the constraint icons),
it is now possible to configure a scaling factor controlling the width of geometry, axes, information layer, and
constraint lines.
===============================================
Based on PRs #4146#4155.
PR #4155 proposes a scaling factor to be used to scale up constraint icons and the subindex font of icons. The
scaling factor is a parameter.
PR #4146 proposes to derive the constraint icon size from the system font size via function of the dpi. The
constraint icon subindex is a factor of the constraint size.
Observations:
- PR #4146 identifies the need for a scaling factor too, but this is a hardcoded 1.25 factor.
- PR #4146 appears to mix font points and font pixels when deriving the sizes.
- PR #4155 deals exclusively with icon size and subindex font, not with constraint label
Useful concepts:
- Font point is a physical distance. There are 72 points in one inch.
- Monitors have pixels with varying pixel densities. The number of pixels in one point varies
with pixel density. Hence the need for a correction based on the dpi of the monitor.
API constraints:
- While QT's configuration can be obtained in points or pixels, coin3D sets the font size in points.
Solution:
- Continue relying on the local font setting from preferences for coin3d font, albeit by converting from pixels to points.
- Introduce a sketcher wide 3D view scaling factor, as per #4155. This factor is however used for geometry, not for fonts.
- Geometry is scaled to compensate for the scaling factor and the monitor pixel density (the scaling factor is the product
of both scaling factors).
- Derive the 3D view icon size to be 80% (hardcoded) of the 3D view font size. Having constraint icons proportional to contraint label
font size gives consistency to the interface, as constraint icons also have subindices. I do not think it is worth to provide this 80%
as a configurable parameter
- The constraint icon subindex, being a special case of font relative to the accompanying icon, is set to be the 80% of the
icon size (hardcoded). I think it is not worth to provide this as a configurable parameter.
Bonus:
- ViewProviderSketch implements an observer of parameter group and tracks view scaling factor parameter and marker size.
- On change of parameter the inventor nodes are updated and the 3D view redrawn.
- Size information is moved to edit structure for consistency with Marker size.
