For some symbols defined or deprecated in GIMP 2 and obsolete in GIMP 3.
ScriptFu automatically loaded these definitions
during development of GIMP 3 (from 2.99 to 3.0rc1).
That is no longer the case.
A third-party script CAN load them explicitly.
We discourage that, for scripts to be shared,
but it is convenient for private use.
PDB-compat-v2.scm is also an executable definition of renamings,
useful as a cross check of published documents re porting plugins
from v2 to v3.
Leaves the mechanism in place, but erases all rows of the alias map data.
Update devel-doc to say ScriptFu has its own mechanism for aliasing.
For major release 3.0
vector(s) => path(s)
layer-group => group-layer
Add a few tests.
(script-fu-use-v3) in more tests, code becomes more terse.
Added some aliases in script-fu-compat.c for renamed procedures, for compatibility third party.
Resolves#10932
Since GIMP distinguishes between saving
XCF and exporting image like PNG,
we should change the PDB to show
export rather than save in the function
calls.
Changes are mostly to the dir structures and build system for ScriptFu.
Some changes to the outer plugin source to call the library.
Why: so that other executables (future gimp-scheme-interpreter,
or a future separated script-fu-server) can exist in separate directories,
and share the library in memory (when built shared.)
Whether the library is built shared and installed on its own
(versus static and not installed)
is a compile time option (both automake LibTool and meson abstract it away)
The default is shared and installed, say as libgimp-scriptfu-3.0.so.
Installed alongside other shared libraries (e.g. wherever libgimp is installed)
to simplify packaging.
A preliminary refactoring which helps enable MR gimp!647
