Marker popup UX

Mike Kowalski requested to merge mkov/inkscape:marker-popup into master

This is a marker selector/palette that will replace marker combo box. It is functional now. It is also an entry point for on-canvas marker editing.

  • Have marker popups replace combo boxes
  • Present markers used in a document and list stock markers to choose from
  • Allow editing of marker parameters
    • Refresh transform of selected shape when modifying marker's parameters (live feedback)
  • Revisit and simplify stock markers, remove size dups
  • Rethink the need for separate start/mid/end markers and simplify where applicable with auto-start-reverse
  • Allow selecting markers
    • Properly and promptly auto-collect not-used markers
  • Hook up on-canvas editing
  • Finalize UX
  • Iron out bugs

Nice to have:

  • Address showing dark markers on a dark background (theme) and vice versa
  • Handle units (%) where they are applicable

Out of scope:

  • Address colors (use stroke fill) if possible ( -> move to marker tool / toolbar)

NOTE: At this point please do not report any bugs related to this preview. Use UX channel for discussions.
