Feature: Composer maps now auto-update with presets

When a composer map is set to follow a style preset, it will automatically be updated whenever the style is changed.

A new option has been added in composer map properties: "Follow visibility preset" with a combo box to choose the active preset. This is an alternative to "lock layers" (and "lock layer styles") functionality which just copy a preset's configuration, while this new option creates a link to the preset.

The difference is that when a preset is updated, composer map will automatically pick the new configuration when following the preset, while there is no update if "lock layers" (and "lock layer styles") option is used.
