[scribus-dev] Soft shadows -- Partial implementation

[Leonard Rosenthol]

Agreed, it's more PDF objects to write.  Other than the obvious resolution independence improvements, it also makes it easier for you to handle other types of shadows in the future - different widths, colors, etc.

I'm honestly not sure anymore if there was an actual technical reason or if I just did it this way for simplicity (an image XObject with a /SMask entry is what comes closest to the idea of an image with an alpha channel; adding a soft mask dictionary to the graphics state makes you jump through more mental hoops).
