MergeShapes update

I decided to improve my MergeShapes plugin a bit. I added encoding selection when opening files, shapefile geometry type selection and reworked the merge algorithm. Now, the final attribute table contains all unique fields from all input files, which means you can merge files with different attribute tables. The only missing bit is a setting for the default encoding of input data.

There are plans to improve DPSimplify, Statist and RasterCalc, but I don’t know how it will go yet.

I’ve also started to slowly learn Git, or rather to organise and deepen my fragmentary knowledge. I want to try out this VCS in real tasks, as there is already a Git mirror of the main QGIS SVN repository.
