Keymap: E - Extrude Gizmo supported.
If the extrude points are the first or last of the stroke, the stroke is extended.
If the extrude points are in the middle of the stroke, a new stroke is created because the grease pencil strokes can be only with 2 extremes and fold the stroke to get a new point gets very bad results.
Still pending define a new icon. Also, it could be good to set by default XYZ axis in the gizmo.
Note: There is a change in the transform_gizmo_extrude_3d.c gizmo for OB_MODE_EDIT_GPENCIL. This change must be undo when the mode will be integrated into OB_MODE_EDIT, but while we have both modes, we need to keep this code in order to keep running the gizmo.
This is fundamentally different from Shrink/Fatten for meshes, because the control points are not moved, only the radius.

This commit groups a set of new tools that were tested in grease pencil object branch before moving to master. We decide to do all the development in a separated branch because it could break master during days or weeks before the new tools were ready to deploy.
The commit includes:
- New Cutter tool to trim strokes and help cleaning up drawings.
- New set of constraints and guides to draw different types of shapes. All the credits for this development goes to Charlie Jolly (@charlie), thanks for your help!
- Segment selection mode to select strokes between intersections.
- New operator to change strokes cap mode.
- New option to display only keyframed frames. This option is very important when fill strokes with color.
- Multiple small fixes and tweaks.
Thanks to @pepeland and @mendio for their ideas, tests, reviews and support.
Note: Still pending the final icons for Cutter in Toolbar and Segment Selection in Topbar. @billreynish could help us here?
Instead of link toggle with enum, use a single popover that contains
both settings. The code for this isn't nice - needing 3x panels for now.

This aims to resolve a conflict where some users want to keep keyboard
axis setting global, even when the orientation is set to something else.
Move/rotate/scale can optionally each have a separate orientation.
Some UI changes will be made next.
This commit adds support for new curve tool and adds more functionalities to the existing primitives, including new handles, editing, stroke thickness curve, noise, preview of the real stroke, etc.
Thanks to @charlie for his great contribution to this improvement.
This adds an elliptical arc primitive.
Press CKEY for toggling closed/open arc.
Press FKEY key for flipping arc.
Additional changes to gpencil primitives.
Increases default edges of circle to 64.
Keymap changes to allow primitives to be drawn with Shift or Alt key.
Allow Plus/Minus key to adjust number of edges.
Missing: Toolbar icon

Tools can define a function that generates the tooltip using a function,
this takes the tools keymap as an argument which can be used
to extract keys to include in the tip.
Not sharing caused duplication in the keymap and
required a factory class generator.
Simplify tool & keymap definitions by sharing them.
It's highly unlikely we will ever want these to use different keys
once they're set as the active tool.
For users that want the 2.7 LMB keymap behavior, this provides a way of
working without tools interfering. For RMB select this operator is quite
redundant with the Cursor tool, we may have to find a solution for that.
Note that we also might later add transform tweak to the transform tools,
when nothing is selected. But this is important for existing users who
preferred the existing workflow.
