Feature: Random marker fill symbol layer type

This commit adds a new fill symbol layer type "Random marker fill". It allows polygon features to be rendered using a marker symbol placed at random locations within the polygon boundary.

Options include:

  • number of marker symbols to render for the polygon
  • whether markers rendered near the edges of polygons should be clipped to the polygon boundary or not
  • an optional random number seed, to give consistent placement of markers whenever maps are refreshed (also allows random placement to play nice with QGIS server and tile-based rendering)
