Preliminary testing of the strokes framework

[Dmitry Kazakov]

Hi, All!

I've just pushed the preliminary version of the new stroke-based freehand
tool (Brush Tool). You can test it and say what you think about it! =)

Improvements:
1) Responsiveness of the brush became higher, because the number of threads
is optimal now.
2) The brush does not hang up in the end of every stroke.
3) You can start a new stroke even when the previous one has not finished
processing yet! This has never been possible before!

Question for artists:
If you try to paint with a big brush, you can see that the tip of the stroke
is a bit blocky while painting. This happens because the painting and
updating the image is done in parallel. Is this "blockyness" ok, or I should
avoid this?

How to test:
This code is in a branch right now, so if you want to test you should switch
there. This can be done with a simple command:

git checkout origin/krita_strokes_framework_kazakov

and then build as usual
