Add "Group as Layer" feature for Export Layers

Dmitrij Antsevich requested to merge dmitrijan/krita:dmitrijan/exportlayers-plugin-improvement into master

This patch adds a checkbox to the Export Layers plugin window.

If user selects this checkbox, each high-level group will be exported as single layer!

This feature was implemented at the request of several users in the unofficial Krita discord server.

example

Test Plan

  1. Create some groups.
  2. Add multiple layers to each group.
  3. Draw something on each layer.
  4. Open the Export Layers plugin window.
  5. Mark Group as layer checkbox, select a file and a directory to export.
  6. Click OK.

High-level groups should be exported as separate images. If Group ad layer not marked, then all layers in groups should be exported separately.
