SVN commit 429860 by harris:

Adding Observing List wizard, which closes wish #107068.

The wizard lets you construct observing lists by filtering the list of 
known objects in three different ways (which can be combined):
1. By object type
2. By position on the sky (in constellation(s), in a rectangular 
region, or in a circular region)
3. Brighter than a given magnitude

Note that only one "Position" filter can be used currently.  I was 
going to allow combinations of position filters, but this seemed more 
complicated than it was worth.  Opinions?
 
Also, while multiple constellations can be selected, only one 
rectangular/circular region can be specified.  Is this 
annoying/confusing?

The wizard is accessed from the toolbar in the Observing List window 
(should it also be added to the "Tools" menu?).

Please test.  I think I have covered most of the corner cases, and it 
seems pretty robust here.

To Be Fixed:
Applying the Constellation filter is very slow, because 
SkyPoint::constellation() is slow.  I was looking at this function, and 
I think I can make it faster.  Also, there are cases where it gives the 
wrong answer (like points near either celestial pole).  In addition, we 
should have a function "bool KStarsData::constellationContains( const 
QString &cName, SkyPoint *p )", which will make the constellation 
filter even faster.
