Hanif Koh 493896260e Let the User Choose What the Preview Draws While Dragging
The solid model is one answer to a preview that cannot keep up with a drag; a
reviewer asked for the two that keep the drag view made of toolpaths. The
checkbox is now a combobox, "Simplify preview while dragging", with Off, Solid
model, Skip layers and Outer walls, and a spin, "Draw one layer in every N",
for the toolpath modes. Off is the default, and with it nothing is built.

Skip layers keeps one layer in every N. Outer walls keeps the outer and overhang
perimeters of those layers, so the prime tower and supports, whose segments have
other roles, drop out of it. Both keep the bottom and top layers of the visible
range whole, as the solid model does, so the faces the range cuts open stay what
was printed there.

libvgcode takes the choice as EReducedDetailMode and a stride; the sets are
rebuilt when either changes, and drawing from the reduced one is still a buffer
binding. A mode change reaches the loaded preview at once, as the checkbox did.
