Closes #499

Addresses confusion about what the "Stitch Image" feature does by displaying an actual preview of the image that will be created. The image can obviously be quite large, so the preview will now scale to fit the view. The original behavior for the preview (showing the image at the normal scale for the map editor) is preserved with a "Preview actual size" setting.

Also adds a brief description at the top of the window describing what the current image exporter will do.

Changing settings (which recreates the preview) is now likely to be significantly slower for most stitch images. I think this is a fine trade-off, having a real preview is valuable and I don't think toggling a bunch of settings is the main use case here.

(Final note, the diff in the form is mostly QtCreator relocating things. Aside from the label there were only some minor changes to give the preview more space)

UPDATE: Added an All setting for events so if someone wants to toggle on all the event settings for a stitch map they don't need to wait for it to update 5 times. Also noticed an unrelated bug that I'll fix later (the map connections used for the image export are the connections for the map in the editor -- which can change -- not the map in the export window).
