Allows creating of callout lines (or bubble callouts) which
link the text to a map location. To create a callout, users
select the text item and then drag out the central x node
to the desired callout end point.
Callout styles can be modified through the layer styling panel.
Adds a new "Linked layer" setting to the render page for annotation
layers, which allows users to optionally set a linked visibility
layer for the annotation layer. If set, then the annotations will
only be drawn when the linked layer is visible in the map.
This is designed to mimic the similar linked layer option for
the older annotation framework, in order to close the feature
gap between old vs new annotations

This adds a new annotation item type for rendering paragraphs
of text inside a rectangle
Options are present for:
- Text format
- Horizontal and vertical alignment
- Margins
- Background and frame symbol
Can render SVG or raster images as items in an annotation layer.
Options are present for:
- Locking the picture's aspect ratio
- Drawing with a background symbol
- Drawing with a border symbol
- Linked or embedded pictures
the text annotation should handle map rotation
Previously, text annotations just ignore map rotation, which
matches how regular map labels are handled. But this is not
desirable for some point text annotations, where it can
be considered a bug that the item ignores the map rotation (eg
when a text annotation has been placed to align with a feature
on the map, such as a road)
There's no one "correct" behaviour here, so add a new
combo box widget in the annotation point text settings with
options for
"Ignore Map Rotation"
"Rotate With Map"
so that users can pick the desired behavior for their annotations
