Feature: New map tool for interactively setting point symbol offset

Allows for setting a point's offset if it is bound to a field using data defined overrides. The offset field should be a text field. The map tool to interactively set the offset is in the advanced digitising toolbar in the icon group with the point rotation tool. See the attached animation for an example. Note that when making subsequent adjustments to the offset, you should drag from the original point vertex marker, not the current position of the symbol as rendered on the map.
