individual table cells in manual text tables
Allows users to set the text horizontal and vertical alignments
on a cell by cell/column/row basis

Individual cells (or selections of multiple cells) can have an preset
text format set, which overrides the default text format for those cells.

method when exporting layouts to PDF
Options are for Lossy compression, which is the default JPEG compression
used, and Lossless compression (which creates bigger files in most
cases, but is much more suitable for professional printing outputs
or for post-production in Illustrator/etc)
The Bad news: this option is available in builds based on Qt 5.14
or later.
This feature allows users to enable map clipping for layout map items
so that the maps are clipped to the boundary of the current atlas feature.
(It's available for polygon atlas coverage layers only, for obvious reasons!)
Options exist for:
- Enabling or disabling the clipping on a per-map basis
- Specifying the clipping type:
- "Clip During Render Only": applies a painter based clip, so that
portions of vector features which sit outside the atlas feature become
invisible
- "Clip Feature Before Render": applies the clip before rendering features,
so borders of features which fall partially outside the atlas feature
will still be visible on the boundary of the atlas feature
- "Render Intersecting Features Unchanged": just renders all features
which intersect the current atlas feature, but without clipping their
geometry
- Controlling whether labels should be forced placed inside the atlas feature,
or whether they may be placed outside the feature
- Restricting the clip to a subset of the layers in the project, so that
only some are clipped

files for each logical layer in a layout
The backend for this was previously used only when creating a GeoPDF
export, where we create an individual PDF per layout logical layer
which are then composited by GDAL.
By publicly exposing this functionality via the QgsLayoutExporter API
we allow for plugins which can export layouts to seperate logical
PDF files, allowing for other (non-GDAL) tools to be used to later
composite the layers (e.g. Adobe Illustrator (which stupidly cannot
handle multi-layer single PDF files!))

as distinct symbols vs the scalebar line symbol
Allows for styling division and subdivision symbols in a different
way compared with the horizontal line symbol in a tick scalebar

This allows creation of north arrows from marker symbols, exposing
the same options as exist for picture items acting as north arrows.

standard QGIS line symbols
Instead of the previous settings of scalebar line color/width/cap styles,
we now expose the option as a full line symbol for more advanced styling
Also some code cleanups

Adds an explicit choice between SVG or raster image sources,
which allows us to clean up the configuration panel for layout pictures
by hiding options which don't apply to a certain picture source. Also permits
us to:
- Reuse the standard svg selector tree widget, which loads images
in a background thread and fixes#17061
- Uses the standard SVG and image selector line edit, which permit
drag and drop of images and expose options to embed images
and link to online sources
Ultimately this is motivated by a desire to allow users to embed
images in layouts and layout templates

Instead of hiding this functionality from users, we instead add an explicit
toggle to the Table Designer dialog "Table" menu to hide or show
the header cells in the designer, and re-add the widgets which
allow users to customise the header appearance back into the
item configuration widget.
Whenever a header cell is selected in the table designer, the formatting
widgets are disabled since the item's header configuration widgets
are used to set the background/foreground color and other properties
of these cells instead.
Allows for creation of tables with contents manually entered by users
(i.e. spreadsheet style), so that users can create completely custom
tables.
Supports control custom cell contents, foreground and background colors.
