Since the majority of users of this class will be exporting
an existing map layer to a data provider, the QgsVectorLayerImport
name is misleading and suggests that this class is designed
just to bring layers "into" QGIS.
Explicitly naming the class "Exporter" should help API users
discover this class.
Also cleanup API and improve docs
Algorithms and other processing code should use this method
(instead of dataobjects.getLayerFromString) to
retrieve layers from a string, as it considers the processing
context and allows resolving strings to temporarily stored layers.
This permits processing models to function correctly when
intermediate results are stored as memory layers. Subsequent
model algorithms can then access these temporary layers as inputs.
All temporary layers will be removed when the context object
is destroyed after the model algorithm is run.
Also
- simplify and add tests
- remove large memory leak (persistant store of all non-project layers)
- remove broken support for direct loading postgres/virtual layers
by string (Python version was very broken and would never match
a postgres/virtual layer)
