CU-861n417r8
Highlighting geometries with lots of vertices was slow because a shape path with many PathMove/PathLine was apparently doing loads of internal updates when constructing it. Qt introduced PathPolyline in a latter qt5 release (5.14) which makes parsing of dynamically constructed complex paths much more efficient.
On desktop build: a polygon with 15K vertices was taking 5-10 seconds to highlight, now it is less than a second.
Fixes #833
