This line symbol type is designed to replicate the ArcGIS Hash Line symbol layer type. It allows for a repeating line segment to be drawn over the length of a feature, with a line-sub symbol used to render each individual segment. To reduce code duplication, this is heavily based off the current line marker symbol layer, since the functionality is almost identical (draw some sub symbol at some interval along a line). Accordingly, I've split off QgsMarkerLineSymbolLayer to move as much of the common functionality as possible to a new abstract base class, so that only the actual marker/line segment rendering occurs in the marker line/hash line subclasses. This also gives the hash line all the existing placement options permissible for marker lines -- e.g. first/last vertex, mid points, regular intervals, etc. The hash line length and angle can have data defined overrides, which are evaluated per-line segment, allowing for the hash line to change size and angle over the length of a single rendered feature.
