Added back OpenMP support.  It is not much changed except that I set the
schedule to 'guided' instead of 'static' to account for nodes taking
different amounts of time.  Support can be turned off and on with an option.
 Also, the threads are created before they are needed and reused to reduce
thread startup overhead.

I created a simple variation on the clay brush and renamed the old clay
brush "wax". Nothing much going on there except trying to find something
that feels right and is useful.

Small optimizations to the smooth brush, which is much slower than the
others.  I think a very different approach is needed to make it fast as
there are no big wins to be had, as far as I could tell, by refining the
current algorithm.

Starting to clean up the UI, most notable are
 proper keymaps for add/subtract and quick switching to another brush
(Smooth for now) for a single stroke
 brushes are now selectable by large, pen friendly, icons
 collapse the tool selection list so that its a less tempting target for
messing up a brush
