[Bf-taskforce25] Tool state and undo

[Vilem Novak]

Hello, 

Here's a little idea for solving this issue very elegant way - 
splitting up undo queues.
There could be 3 undo queues - operators actions, UI actions,
tool settings actions.(sorry if this is wrong classification)
I often miss e.g. viewport undo - a very fast way of getting back 
the view of scene you just lost because of pan/zoom. 
I agree with Nicholas in description of the case with brush settings,
 It's something what annoyed me many times when sculpting with blender.

Vilem.
