Extend Python API with vector methods and remove node fix

BUGFIX: Node removal via API then undo caused a crash

If a user adds a shape to a layer, then the API removes the layer and the user hits undo. Krita will crash. This fixes it by adding layer removal to the undo.

Python API: Add export and import SVG strings

Added the addShapesFromSvg and toSvg methods to Vector Layers.

Python API: Expose more Shape methods to the API

This patch adds the following methods:

  • setType: So the plugin can take ownership of the shape.
  • zIndex, setZIndex: So the plugin can control if the shape should be in front or back.
  • selectable, setSelectable, geometryProtected, setGeometryProtected: So the plugin can take control of managing the shapes.
  • transformation, setTransformation: So the plugin can get back matrix data and adjust them
  • remove: So the plugin can delete shapes
  • update and updateAbsolute: So shape changes can be updated (like fixes setVisible)

This patch Modifies the following:

  • toSvg: Adds 2 optional parameters. prependStles and stripTextMode this lets the plugin get the data it needs from the shapes. Being optional parameters, it retains backwards compatibility

Test Plan

Tools->scripter and run this: (It will go through all the methods on a 2 second timer for about 20 seconds. And output details into terminal)
