Review request for marble.


Summary
-------

Currently RenderPlugins can add layers which are then rendered according to their preference. This patch makes it possible to also create such layers internally (i.e. one does not need to create a plugin to create a paint layer). This is useful as a more powerful customPaint() alternative for people using MarbleWidget in their application (benefits: no need to derive from MarbleWidget, convenient access to ViewportParams). Additionally I'm using it to create the layer showing a route between two points (patch for that coming soon).

I wasn't sure about the copyright header for the new class. Any hints?

Testing
-------

Patch is based on my local branch where I'm using it to add an interactive layer for routing


Thanks,
