NEW/BREAKING: rework layouting of keys/legends: new classes JKQTPBaseKey, JKQTPMainKey ... and removed several styling function for the main key from JKQTBasePlotter and JKQTPlotter (these are now accessible via JKQTBasePlotter::getMainKey()

IMPROVED/REWORKED: legend/key positioning as combination of 3 values, e.g. \c JKQTPKeyOutsideTop|JKQTPKeyTop|JKQTPKeyRight or \c JKQTPKeyInside|JKQTPKeyTopJKQTPKeyRight

     <li>IMPROVED/REWORKED: coordinate axis code was refactored</li>
     <li>IMPROVED/REWORKED: zomm/pan by mouse-wheel: now there are modes that support zoomin AND panning by trakpad and mouse-wheel simultaneously! This can only be implemented using heuristics, due to the way that Qt handles track-pad events, but the current solution should at least improve the behaviour seen before. Mainly <code>jkqtpmwaZoomByWheelAndTrackpadPan</code> was introduced into <code>JKQTPMouseWheelActions</code> und is set as default mode: Here JKQTPlotter tries to distinguish the QWheelEvent s sent by an actual mouse wheel and a trackpad.</li>

     <li>NEW/BREAKING CHANGE: data tooltip can now also be shown when "just" moving the mouse (so far this was only possible when dragging the mouse with a button pressed). This also removes JKQtPlotter::getActMouseLeftAsToolTip() and adds JKQtPlotter::getActMouseMoveToolTip() instead! Also the default toolbars and context menus changed!</li>
