Feature: Improve "avoid overlap" type awareness

When digitizing features with the "avoid overlap" option, QGIS has improved the behavior of automatically coercing the feature type and includes more meaningful messages to notify users of the automated behaviours.

An example use case would be the digitizing of a multipart polygon on a singlepart polygon target layer, which cannot be saved. QGIS will now automatically only keep the largest geometry portion, and prompt users to optionally restore the additional features as singlepart polygons.

This prevents the digitizing of "sliver" polygons and frustrations with improper feature types.
