The add layer toolbar is very full and users are unlikely to be
connecting to more than one db provider type frequently (eg
at a workplace they will likely have access to a Postgres db
OR a MSSQL db, not both concurrently)
Allows for setting a point's offset if it is bound to a field using
data defined overrides (fix#14738)

Second part of qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals#53
(QEP 35: WFS provider enhancements)
- URI parameter with sql with SELECT / FROM / JOIN / WHERE / ORDER BY clauses
- handle WFS 2.0 joins
- handle DateTime fields
- enable "Only request features overlapping the view extent" by default (and memorize the settings)
- rework DescribeFeatureType parsing to handle responses with several documents, and some support for attribute types being complexType
- rework feature transfer between downloader and iterator so as to avoid uncontrolled RAM usage when the iterator cannot keep up with the downloader
- turn on WAL journaling for better reader / writer concurrency
- add retry logic based on the 'Max retry in case of tile request errors' setting (renamed 'Max retry in case of tile or feature request errors')
- error to MessageBar in case of failed download
- in progress dialog, add a "Hide" button to mask the dialog
- improve automated testing
- add testing of the GUI of QgsWFSSourceSelect
- Fix one bug with Scintilla 2.8.X when focus out event does not
disable blinking cursor
- Make QScintilla widget not capture Escape key so that it can
propagate to parent.
Uses new gradient editor widget and color controls for easier
manipulation of gradients. Also adds an interactive plot
for modifying gradient stops via the color HSV or RGB values.

Instead of setting the provider's subsetString to fetch joined
features, use a feature request with FilterExpression instead.
(Setting the subsetString results in a canvas refresh.)
Performance should be similar (if expression compilation is
enabled) and this also has the advantage of avoiding provider-
specific behaviour (eg case insensitive matching).
(fix#14800)
