This adds a new input type for expression inputs. Expression
inputs can be linked to a parent layer so that the builder
shows the correct fields and layer variables.
It's designed for two use cases:
1. to be used when an algorithm specifically requires an expression,
eg Select by Expression and Extract by Expression.
2. to be potentially used as a replacement input instead of string
or number literals in algorithms. Eg - if the simplify algorithm
tolerance parameter was replaced with an expression paremeter, then
this expression would be evaluated for every feature before
simplifying that feature. It would allow parameters to be calculated
per feature, as opposed to the current approach of calculating
a parameter once before running the algorithm. It would also
mean algorithms like "variable distance buffer" would no longer
be needed, as a single "buffer" algorithm could then be used
for either a fixed distance, field based, or expression based
distance.
Tags are used while searching in the toolbox. This should help with
finding algorithms when the exact name is not known, eg
you could search for "envelope" or "bounds" and find the
'Polygon from Layer Extent' algorithm.
At the moment it's quite hard to discover algorithms which exist
when you don't know what their called and have to instead search
for every possible naming variant which could exist...
* Remove deprecated Qgis::WKBType and API cleanup
Renames QgsWKBTypes to QgsWkbTypes
Replaces usage of the enums:
* Qgis::WKBType with QgsWkbTypes::Type
* Qgis::GeometryType with QgsWkbTypes::GeometryType
Their values should be forward compatible (a fact that was already
explited up to now by casting between the types)
Renames some SSLxxx to SslXxx and URIxxx to UriXxx
* Fix build warnings and simplify type handling
* Add a fixer to rewrite imports
* The forgotten rebase conflictThe forgotten rebase conflicts
* QgsDataSourcURI > QgsDataSourceUri
* QgsWKBTypes > QgsWkbTypes
* Qgis.WKBGeom > QgsWkbTypes.Geom
* Further python fixes
* Guess what... Qgis::wkbDimensions != QgsWkbTypes::wkbDimensions
* Fix tests
* Python 3 updates
* [travis] pull request caching cannot be disabled
so at least use it in r/w mode
* Fix python3 print in plugins
