QGIS version:

Add setting for format to show angular bearings to projects

PR Description:

The Settings - Options - Map Tools tab contains a new setting for controlling the default format to use for displaying angular bearings for newly created projects. Whenever a new project is created, it will
inherit this default settings.

The Project Properties dialog also has a new setting for the project-specific bearing format.

The intention is that whenever angular bearings are shown in QGIS, they will be formatted using the current project's bearing format settings. In this PR I've done this for the status bar pan direction message.

Also includes lots of nice API additions providing a stable, easy to discover place to set and retrieve settings like the bearing format.
