Feature: New "Print Layout Map Extent to Layer" algorithm

Taking advantage of the new facilities for accessing Print Layouts in Processing, we added a new algorithm which creates a polygon layer containing the extent of a print layout map item. The output layer also includes handy attributes specifying the map size (in layout units), scale and rotation.

If you've ever wanted to create an advanced overview indicator, and the inbuilt layout tools haven't sufficed — this new algorithm is for you!
