for when a URI cannot be opened in a QGIS install, but the URI
matches a format which could potentially be opened in a different QGIS
install.
This can be used to show user-friendly warning messages advising user why
a particular uri cannot be opened on their QGIS install. For example, if
a QGIS install is built without the PDAL library then las/laz files are
unusable, and this method can be used to retrieve a user-friendly warning
as to why the las/laz files cannot be used on their QGIS build.
Instead of just showing the user a generic "not a valid or recognized data
source" error, we can use this api to show more helpful URIs about the
specific uri.
Initially intended to help advise users why LAS/LAZ files cannot be
opened on their QGIS install, but also could be used e.g. by mdal
to advise users about missing third party libraries preventing
them from opening certain mesh files, etc....
The change to the the feature filter group filterFeatures
(do not clear pre-existing filters) should not be a behavioral
change: additional filters are ANDed.
- gdal_calc command is gdal_calc.py, not gdal_calc
- commandName() method is used for more than just the command line
generation, so move extension handling to getConsoleCommands() only
calculations
Since GRASS upstream is moving away from the previous calculations which
all of QGIS' ellipsoidal distance/areas formulas are based on, let's
follow suit and delegate all these calculations to the GeographicLib
routines exposed through the PROJ api.

Fix GdalAlgorithmProvider supportedOutputRasterLayerExtensions(self) in order to correctly return GdalUtils.getSupportedOutputRasterExtensions() instead of GdalUtils.getSupportedRasterExtensions()
stage, be more intelligent about compiling AND or OR nodes
We can take advantage of the fact that and AND node will ALWAYS
be false if either input node is static and evaluates to FALSE,
and that OR nodes will always be true if either input is static
and evaluates to TRUE.
In some cases this allows us the shortcut and cut out non-static
nodes during preparation, resulting in faster evaluation and
more easily compiled expressions...
and destination points
Allows users to data define the starting and ending points for
label callout lines, which is useful when needing to manually
control the exact placement of individual callout lines.
geometries
GREATLY speeds up rubber band creation for many geometries, resulting
in consequent speed ups to the move features tool, rotate features tool,
....
