Review request for Marble.


Description
-------

== Problem ==
When emitting repaintNeeded() inside a RenderPlugin, MarbleWidget used to delay repainting for every RenderPlugin by 1 second.
However, some RenderPlugins/LayerInterfaces (such as PlacemarkLayout) may require to be updated immediately, so forcing a delay for every plugin/layer may lead to undesired rendering artifacts.

== Solution ==
Moving the responsibility for repaint delaying into the plugins/layers works for inhomogeneous requirements.

== Changes ==
When MarbleWidget receives repaintNeeded() from any plugin/layer, it update()s immediately.
ProgressFloatItem and TextureLayer are currently the only plugins/layers that make use of repaint delaying.


== Question ==
* are there any other layers/plugins that need repaint delaying, such as Wikipedia?

Testing
-------

Repaints are delayed when updated tiles arrive. This is also the case when the ProgressFloatItem is visible.


Thanks,
