Michael Weghorn 8b5a46a0e0 weld: Move weld::toId and weld::fromId to weldutils.hxx
In the past, weld.hxx used to contain the class
definitions for weld::Widget and all subclasses,
as well as a few helpers.

By now, weld::Widget and almost all subclasses have
been moved to separate headers, to make it easier
to keep the overview and to avoid having to
recompile ~all UI code when anything in weld.hxx
changes.

Move the weld::toId and weld::fromId helpers from
weld.hxx to weldutils.hxx, in preparation of getting
rid of weld.hxx altogether in an upcomcing commit.

LibreOffice Filters

Filter registration and some simple filters (also descriptions).

Desperate splitting of code into small shared libraries for historical reasons presumably (OS/2 and Windows 3.x). The libraries produced from the code in each subdirectory of filter/source/graphicfilter are graphic format import or export filters. But they don't have uniform API. Some have either a GraphicImport or GraphicExport entry point, and are loaded and used in a uniform fashion from code in svtools/source/filter/filter.cxx. Others have different API and are loaded from other places. For instance icgm has ImportCGM, and is loaded and used by sd/source/filter/cgm/sdcgmfilter.cxx (!). Svgreader is used for "File -> Open" and then to choose the svg file. For "Insert -> Picture -> From File", see svgio/source/svgreader directory.

Filter Configuration

The filter configuration consists of two parts, the type definition in filter/source/config/fragments/types/ and the actual filter definition in filter/source/config/fragments/filters/.

Each file type e.g. text file should be represented by exactly one type definition. This type can then be referenced by several different filters, e.g. calc text, writer text.
