When using grease pencil for drawing Storyboards, it's very common to require a transform of the layers. This transform can be done using the offset modifier, but in some cases, the scene requires a lot of modifiers and makes the file hard to work.
This new feature adds a transforms Location, Rotation and Scale at Layer level, and allows to transform the layer without using a modifier, keeping the scene more clean.

This feature was suggested by @pepeland after receiving feedback from several artists.
Also, done some code cleanup and rename some functions to get a better naming.

This patch is the result of the GSoC 2020 "Editing Grease Pencil Strokes
Using Curves" project. It adds a submode to greasepencil edit mode that
allows for the transformation of greasepencil strokes using bezier
curves. More information about the project can be found
here: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Filedescriptor/GSoC_2020.
In some situations is good to have a grid visible anot beeing occulde by meshes.
By default is OFF.
