Tracking what's left for the migration to Qt

[ErwanDL]

This is a tracking issue to try and list what components are yet to be migrated to Qt 5, and tick what has been done as progress is made. @perdrix52 don't hesitate to edit this or correct me if I'm wrong on this inventory.

Inventory of Tools/ directory

The legacy GUI widgets live in the Tools/ directory. Some windows/dialogs listed above depend on these widgets, so we won't be able to migrate them without migrating the underlying widgets to Qt first (or replacing them by their direct Qt equivalent if any). The widgets/files in bold are the ones that seem to be unused. @perdrix52 can we safely delete those to clear up a bit this folder?

• CButtonST: still used in several components: LuminanceTab, RGBTab, SaturationTab, StackingDlg, DSSLive/ImageView
• CButtonToolbar/CButtonToolbarSink: still used by WndImage
• CChildPropertyPage: still used in LuminanceTab, RGBTab, SaturationTab
• CControlPos: still used in ProcessingDlg, DSSLive/GraphView, DSSLive/ImageList, DSSLive/ImageView, DSSLive/LogTab, DSSLive/MainBoard, DSSLive/Settings
• EASYSIZE and related macros: still used in BatchStacking
• CFolderDlg: still used in DSSLive/MainBoard and DSSLive/Settings
• CGradient/CGradientCtrl/CGradientCtrlImpl: still used in ProcessingDlg, RGBTab, DSSLive/ImageView
• CLabel: still used in LuminanceTab, ProcessingDlg, SaturationTab, DSSLive/ImageView, DSSLive/MainBoard, DSSLive/Settings
• CListCtrlEx: still used in PictureListCtrl, DSSLive/ImageList
• CSplitterControl: still used in StackingDlg Now Removed
• CToolTipButton: still used in SavePicture
• CWndImage/CWndImageSink: still used in ImageSinks, ProcessingDlg, StackingDlg, DSSLive/ImageView, DSSLive/StackedSink

CSmartPtr/CRefCount: I already replaced them by shared_ptr and/or unique_ptr on a branch locally on my computer. If I find time I could open a new branch and cherry-pick the changes.
