Custom Input Symbology

[philipbaileynar]

This is hopefully easier to implement than it sounds...

Goal

Sometimes we want to add input layers to the map for specific purposes. The current use case is that @Jdgilby wants to add a sample frame to the map, but use the zones of influence symbology.

Proposed Solution

Inside the synchronized resources, add folders for the different input types where we can place QML files. Then in the user interface, add another "Add To Map With Custom Symbology" (hopefully with tighter wording) that displays just those QML files in the relevant subfolder as options.

If we outgrow submenus then we could use a modal popup with a single dropdown.

QRiS
    blxml
    QRiS
        metrics
        protocols
        inputs   <-- new folder
            sample_frames
                custom_01.qml
                custom_02.qml
            profiles
            cross_sections
            aois
            riverscapes
    symbology

Don't action before finding the legacy tickets and merging them together.

Here's an updated description of the use case, as described by @Jdgilby ...

User wants to add a sample frame to the map, but use the categories from zones of influence. This requires two things:

1. Sample frames have a categorical attribute for assigning ZOI categories to individual sample frame polygons.
2. We have a way of picking "custom symbology" when adding sample frames to maps that lets the user pick the ZOI symbology QML that refers to the aforementioned attribute column.

@Jdgilby Do all sample frames need a ZOI category/attribute? Are the list of ZOI attributes fairly stable?
