rBfa4a35d4c4ee: Measure tool: Add support to restrict dimension to one axis

Summary

The measure tool feels a bit forgotten and lacks a lot of features that other tools have. This is a proposal to make it a bit more useful.
Looking at the code it would probably need a lot of updating with a key map and so on, so maybe this could be concidered a hack, I don't know.

Press X, Y or Z to restrict the dimension to that axis (update: now also possible to toggle between orientations like in for example the move tool):

This seems useful, some changes requested.

source/blender/editors/space_view3d/view3d_gizmo_ruler.c
109–111	use `bool restrict_axes[3];` - to avoid duplication.
397–407	This can support the current scene orientation. See: `ED_transform_calc_orientation_from_type`

Changed the keys X/Y/Z to toggle between none, scene orientation and global (or local if scene is global).

source/blender/editors/space_view3d/view3d_gizmo_ruler.c
103–106	Should be a separate enum, use `CONSTRAIN_AXIS_` prefix.
441–449	can be made into a for loop.
1001	This doesn't seem correct, changing from one axis to another shouldn't have to change this mode.
1003–1014	can be made into a for loop.
1016	Should include a comment for then this might happen.

Commented the code and tried to fix all things pointed out in the review. Also refactored the cycling code to make it clearer what is going on.

Updated to work with latest master.

This is now updated again to apply on master.

Sync with master, minor changes.
Use a define as we may want to replace this with full transform (supporting each feature duplicates logic).
Avoid passing in the context.
