tessellation method from OpenGL Utility Library (libtess). Added
LinesItem class to display on SkyMapLite LineListIndex derived classes
(Equator, EquatorialCoordinateGrid, HorizontalCoordinateGrid,
ConstellationLines etc.)

Do not connect driver manager server signal until connection is established. No need to log messages twice, just get it from appendLogText

This reverts commit 2910732b.

This is because I'm moving the development of this feature to a
remotely-tracked branch.

rotation using two fingers and pinch-to-zoom into specific area.

check if there are any managed drivers before stopping them. Do not change ekos starting status unless it is already pending

Fix misc. bugs with edit mode. Make it visually explicit to alert the user that he is still in edit mode

Changed splash screen so that it looks better on Android (no black screen at the startup, better fits to Android style)

is a wrapper for QStandardPaths. The reason behind creating KPaths is
that in Android all app files are installed in location that can't be
resolved by QStandardPaths. If the target platform is Android,
KPaths::locate and KPaths::locateAll will first check all standard
locations and then special for Android location (assets). Otherwise it
simply calls QStandardPaths's locate and locateAll respectively. Also
changed a splash screen to fit better to mobiles.

Adding option to disable twilight check allowing observatories to run before and after astronomical twilight darkness.
Removing ForceNow option since it is no longer needed, the user can force scheduler to run now by adjusting constraints and steps.
Makeing altitude constraint ON by default with 15 degrees minimum value.

Android build to crash on startup. Added icons for different DPI and set
Android style splash screen.

Preliminary versions of a namespace that fetches DSO data from CDS
Sesame (script-friendly front-end to SIMBAD/NED/VizieR) and turns it
into a CatalogEntryData structure.

Adding more object types however, potentially causes data
misrepresentation (is not backwards compatible) and must be done only
when really needed.

It has been noted earlier that KStars does not center the map
correctly on first shot in many cases. The offset from the actual
object and the map center was consistent with the possibility that it
could be a result of not handling precession correctly.

This patch is likely to fix this bug although it needs more
testing. In any case, one must call SkyPoint::updateCoords()
appropriately before, so this patch probably does no harm. In a
cursory test, KStars centered correctly on the location of the object
without any offset.

Note: this seems to produce some warnings, so one should double check
that the updateCoords from subclasses of SkyPoint are being called
when needed.
