Remove QgsAbstractProperty and subclasses, and instead use a single
QgsProperty class which covers the use of QgsAbstractProperty
and its subclasses. This simplifies the API and avoids pointer
handling. QgsProperty is implicitly shared for memory efficiency
and inexpensive copies.
Instead of defining the suitable field types and values for
properties when registering them to a data defined button,
now properties are fully defined when the valid
property keys are defined.

- Checking/unchecking a group doesn't change the check state of its children.
A node is visible if and only if it is checked and all its parents too.
- There is no more a semi-checked state for a group
- Ctrl-clic on a unchecked group will check the group and all its descendants.
- Ctrl-clic on a unchecked layer will check the lager and all its parents.
- Ctrl-clic on a checked group will uncheck the group and all its descendants.
- Ctrl-clic on a checked layer will uncheck the layer and all its parents.
- Those actions are available in contextual menu items in the tree view.
- Invisible layers because they or their parent(s) is unchecked are greyed out.
Allows you to quickly hide all deselected layers. This is very handy
when you have a large project and want to quickly hide all except
for a couple of layers
This adds a new gui widget QgsFieldValuesLineEdit which includes
an autocompleter populated with current field values.
The autocompleter is nicely updated in the background so that
the gui remains nice and responsive, even if there's millions
of records in the associated table.
It's now used as a search widget for text fields, so can be seen
in the browser window if you set the filter to a text field, or
if you launch the form based select/filter by selecting a layer
and pressing F3.
This is replaced with a QVariantMap. It was never really more than this in the
past and with the switch to QgsConfigurationProperties, there is really no
longer any reason to assume that this will change.
This commit implements the improvements described at:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2016-September/044393.html
The QgsRasterMinMaxWidget now offers a seetting to specify that the statistics
should be computed each time the canvas extent changes.
Other changes:
- the content of the QgsRasterMinMaxWidget is now persistant.
- there is no longer any Load button. The global Apply / OK button of the raster
properties dialog has this effect.
- the default "limits" for single band raster is now MinMax and not CumulativeCut
- the default "limits" can be configured for single band, multi band single byte and
multi band multi byte
- "Strech using current extent" honours the "limits" instead of forcing min/max.
above a layout.
Supports setting another widget as a anchor point for the widget, eg
the floating widget could be set so that it's always placed to the
top-right of the anchor widget.
Adds new classes:
- QgsTask. An interface for long-running background tasks
- QgsTaskManager. Handles groups of tasks - also available as a global
instance for tracking application wide tasks
- QgsTaskManagerWidget. A list view for showing active tasks and their
progress, and for cancelling them
A new dock widget has been added with a task manager widget showing
global tasks
