Zoom modes

New zoom behavior is introduced.

By default, the background picture (when one is loaded) is made resizable. It resizes together with the model in response to mouse wheel scrolling or resizing of the whole program window.

The resizing can be frozen by using the following new modes accessible via the zoom menu:

Fix Diamond pixel size freezes the pixel size of the model so that it doesn't change upon resizing by mouse wheel or by the resize of the program window.
Fix Background pixel size freezes the pixel size of the background picture in the same manner.
Block Zoom change freezes both the model and background.

Cut quality estimation

Upon changing of model proportions or opening a new file, the calculated cut quality figures are marked as obsolete, so as not to misinterpret the old data as belonging to the new model.
