Tracking changes of an object: The Backup Plugin

# Overview

OpenFlipper offers the opportunity to keep track of the changes that were made to an object by different plugins (i.e. topological as well as geometrical changes). Hence, every plugin that performs changing actions on meshes should be derived from the BackupInterface which provides all necessary signals and slots for the handling of backups.

In this tutorial we show the usage of the backup plugin using a simple smoother plugin which performs several iterations of the simple Laplace-operator (using uniform weights) on all loaded meshes that are tagged as target.
