Need help with testing asynchronous saving branch! :)

Async Bugs:

=========


Building issues:

--------------

* Issue in KisResourceBundleManifest: include <QForeachContainer> is not
possible with Qt 5.9, removing this made it build.

* Also issue in paintopsettings widget that was fixed in master. Please
merge master.

* The PDF plugin doesn't work. Dmitry said he doesn't have Poppler
installed, hence...

```

home/wolthera/krita/src/plugins/impex/pdf/kis_pdf_import.cpp: In member
function ‘virtual KisImportExportFilter::ConversionStatus
KisPDFImport::convert(KisDocument*, QIODevice*,
KisPropertiesConfigurationSP)’:

/home/wolthera/krita/src/plugins/impex/pdf/kis_pdf_import.cpp:118:50:
error: ‘class KisDocument’ has no member named ‘progressUpdater’
QPointer<KoUpdater> loadUpdater =
document->progressUpdater()->startSubtask(1, "load");

```


Opening tests:

-------------

All of these are KRA files.


1. A vectors only image. [SUCCESS]

2. A piece of pixel art with grids, transparency masks and filter masks
[SUCCESS]

3. A multi-layer pixelart animation. [SUCCESS] (However, closing this file
ended in a crash)

4. An old comic page with assistants. [SUCCESS]

5. A comic page with guides.[SUCCESS]

6. A 16bit float image. [SUCCESS]

7. An image with transform masks. [SUCCESS]

10. An image with inherit alpha. [SUCCESS]

11. An image with layer styles. ... Can't find one of these :x


save-close-open tests

--------------------

The files for these are included in a zip I put onto dropbox. There's also
some crashes included, but I am not sure they are specific to this branch:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqlrmedpwvjk5im/Async_Tests.zip?dl=0


01. A 8bit RGBA image of 1024x1024. Saves, saved an autosave, loads
correctly.

02. A vector in 8bit RGBA. Saves and loads correctly. However, the
preview.png doesn't show the vector. Mergedimage.png seems to show the
vector just fine. HOWEVER: Editing the vector doesn't trigger the "document
is edited" stuff in the title bar. Changing the layer name does trigger
this.

03. A 8bit CMYKA image. Saves, load, autosaves just fine. In other notes:
CMYK painting is hell.

04. A 8bit LABA image. Save open close a success, but here I noticed that
the Layer color labels don't save. (I think from my tests they do load, but
I cannot be certain.) Similarly, I have instant preview on, and I noticed
that if I hid or showed a layer, the pick-color-from-merged-image would be
picking from the older version of the image.

05. A 8bit GRAYA image. Save open close a success.

06. A 8bit XYZA image. I noticed here that when you close a document, the
layer contents don't get cleared from the layer stack. Anyway,
autosave/save/load worked fine.

07. A 16bit integer RGBA image. Autosave/Save/Load works fine.

08. Guides test, saving and loading guides works fine. Autosave not checked.

09. Assistants test, saving and loading works fine, autosave not tested.

10. Animation test. Show in timeline, frame color labels, and onion skin
are all confirmed to work.

11. Animation test 2: Ghost. Opacity keyframes load but do not save.

12. A complicated vector file. Same issue as 2, everything else saves/loads
just fine.

13. A layerstyle file. Saving/loading works. Autosave not tested.


General impression:

----------------

Works pretty well, maybe a bit too well. I was for a while there convinced
that the autosave functionality was broken, until I realised I hadn't
enabled "show hidden files", and even after that I had to check the folder
to see if an autosave had happened, because during painting I noticed
NOTHING.

I also can't report back on how the cache regeneration and friends work as
it happens so fast I don't see a thing.
