internal symbol clones
Rendering symbols is a NON-CONST operation, which can permanently
alter the symbol instance (e.g. via changes made by the symbol
or symbol layer's startRender methods.).
This makes debugging super complex - because methods which look
like they are just generating previews of symbols can actually
change the original symbol instances, resulting in permanent changes
to a layer's style.
Refs #19910 (specifically, me pulling my hair out trying to deduce
seemingly random changes to layer's symbols)
render exterior ring or interior rings
This option is shown whenever a simple line symbol or
marker line symbol is used as part of a fill symbol for
rendering polygons.
The default behavior is to render both interior and exterior
rings, but this new setting allows users to set the symbol
layer to render only for the exterior ring OR only
for interior rings.
This allows for symbolisation which wasn't directly possible
before, such as a marker line with markers for interior
rings angled toward the interior of the polygon.

Fixes#12652
This new option, available under the "Advanced" button for fill symbols,
allows forcing rendered polygons to follow the standard "right hand
rule" for ring orientation (where exterior ring is clockwise, and
interior rings are all counter-clockwise).
The orientation fix is applied while rendering only, and the original
feature geometry is unchanged.
This allows for creation of fill symbols with consistent appearance,
regardless of the dataset being rendered and the ring orientation
of individual features.

- also adds QgsStyleProxyModel which handles filtering of entities
- lots of unit tests
- new signals in QgsStyle for when symbols/tags/etc change (with tests)
Checks whether a function declaration has parameters that are
top level const.
const values in declarations do not affect the signature of a
function, so they should not be put there.
