Improve Outline view (and rename this to Navigator) and Zoom behavior

The current outline view has two modes: an overview-view and an outline-view.
The outline view should be removed and put into its own widget/window: the Layers window.
The overview-view should be renamed to Navigator, like it is called in other drawing apps e.g.
Illustrator or Photoshop (not to be confused the the existing Navigator View in Eclipse !!)

Improvements:

• move the zoom in / zoom out buttons, and the current zoom level ("150%") to this window.
• nicer view box (thicker line, more obvious color)
• remove faint transparent fill-in from view box
• if at all, the faint transparent fill-in should have another color (black) and should be outside
  the view box instead of inside.

Zoom Behavior improvements:
Also the Zoom behavior should be in fixed steps (like in Photoshop instead of Illustrator).
12,5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%.
(or a little more fine: 12,5%, 16,6%, 25%, 33,3%, 50%, 66,6%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%,
600%, 800%)
It doesn't make sense for Fritzing to be so fine grained in zooming.
And zoom-in / zoom-out should have a key-equivalent bound to cmd- / cmd= or cmd+ (both
should work).
