Reconstruction Sampler:

- This new widget can be opened using Ctrl + Space and the keyword
"reconstruction-sampler". It allows to target reconstruction effort based on
the spatial sampling of a skeleton. This is mainly useful for large neurons
that can't be quickly traced to completion. The widget is organized as a
workflow that prevents skipping steps.

- To keep track of reconstruction progress, a so called sampler is created
for a skeleton of interest. This skeleton is typically the backbone of a
larger neuron. The sampler keeps track of some global properties for the
sampling. Once created, a sampler can be "opened" either by clicking "Open" or
by double clicking the respective table row. Also note that with a sampler
attached to a skeleton, the skeleton can not be deleted. If a skeleton should
be deleted, delete its samplers first.

- Once opened, a sampler allows creating so called sampler domains, which are
regions on the skeletons which should in principle be considered for sampling.
Topological and tag based definitions of sampler domains are possible. Created
samplers can be opened through a click on "Open" or a double click on the
table row.

- Once opened, sampler domains can be further divided in so called sampler
intervals. To do so the "Create intervals" buttons has to be pressed. These
have initially all the same length (defined in sampler) and no branches.
Intervals are meant to picked at random through the respective button.

- With an interval selected, the goal is now to reconstruct it to completion
with all branches and connectors. CATMAID will show a warning when moved out
of the interval. The workflow page will show both input and output connectors.

- As soon as the interval is reconstructed completely, a synapse can be picked
at random from which the next backbone can be reconstructed. Once the backbone
is found and reconstructed, the sampling can start over. Alternatively,
another interval in the original skeleton can be selected at random.
