This commit only affects users that have multiple GRASS installations on
their Macs. Using the most recent GRASS version is what we do on Linux too.
After @Nyalldawson suggestion [1], we've implemented a Processing plugin
that exposes a GRASS Addon [2]. In order to do this we had to subclass
`Grass7AlgorithmProvider` and override `createAlgsList()`.
`createAlgsList()` had to be overriden in order to change the
"description folder" location.

With this commit we convert the `descriptionFolder` to a class attribute
and in this way, subclasses of `Grass7AlgorithmProvider` will no longer
have to override `createAlgsList()` and will be able to continue inheriting
future enhancements.

- Removes code duplication
- Uses a tested and robust implementation (from OGR)
- Takes care of renaming QGIS styles
- Updates the information view in the plugin
Fixes#21227
We no longer require the seperate CRS parameter, because the extent
parameter contains the CRS information itself. This means the algorithm
is simplified to just picking the layer and drawing the desired area
on the canvas.
generated filename for outputs
Previously they were just echoing the input parameter value,
which isn't always a string and accordingly was broken for
temporary outputs. This caused models to break when the output
of a GDAL algorithm was used in a subsequent model step.
The "comments" PR 8831 added support for postgres only
(and broke all the others backends).
I'd be in favor of a revert of the whole original PR but
this patch restores functionality and could be an acceptable
temporary fix until the comments PR is reworked in a more
maintainable and elegant way.
Fixes#21151 btw
