WIP: Create reference image from current layer

Tom Wu requested to merge tomwoo/krita:TomWoo/ReferenceImageFromLayer into krita/4.4.2

Per a wishlist item (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399058), this patch imtroduces a new button in the Reference Image Tool that creates a reference image from the current layer:

All feedback about this new feature are welcome.

TODO: In a second patch, I plan to provide a context menu option to convert a selected layer to a reference image as an alternative way to access this functionality.

Test Plan

  1. Open any .kra file (ideally one with multiple layers).
  2. Open the Reference Image Tool, and click on the button circled in red shown in the screenshot above. You should now see a new reference image on top of the canvas consistent with the current layer.
