Feature: Integrate shape map tools into feature digitizing

The Shape Tools have been extended and integrated with the features from digitizing tools, allowing the use of map tools to use shapes for digitizing operations.

This includes digitizing support for items such as:

  • StraightSegments
  • CircularStrings
  • Streaming
  • Shapes

This results in the ability to use the add part, add ring, or any other digitizing operations with the shape tools for hybrid digitizing operations, for example using the circular string or rectangle shape tools to create rings in existing area features.

This required significant refactoring and the porting of code from QgsMapToolDigitizeFeature to QgsMapToolCapture.
