Draft: Rework UX for adding digital signature

Nicolas Fella requested to merge work/nico/signature-preview into master

Currently when adding a signature the user is prompted to specify a rectangle, then chose a certificate. The problem here is that the user doesn't know what size is appropriate, so it takes some trial and error to get something good.

To address this change the flow a bit. First ask which certificate and other parameters should be used. With that information we can show a "preview" for the signature, helping the user pick a good size.

This makes the warning about a too small signature rect redundant since the user sees that the signature won't fit. It was only an approximation anyway.

The preview is only an approximation of the final appearance though. Getting the actual appearance from Poppler would involve some larger work.

CCBUG: 443403

Draft because the font size in the preview doesn't always match the final font size. This might be related to (physical) DPI differences
