Proposal for a more compact and intuitive drawn mask UI in darktable

Copying from another UI-related thread (related to DorS):

We could still do the refinement, as a community.

AP replied to the DorS UI change PR with a link to reference documentation describing DorS. At the end he had a perspectives section which said changing the names of things would only cause confusion and prevent understanding.

After a good nights sleep and lots of thought I realized that if we change the names and reorder the controls we then have

• no useful technical documentation
• no useful user manual for DorS
• no useful DorS how to videos
• no useful edit videos where DorS is used

Modules exist in an ecosystem so changing controls may not be a good idea unless all the supporting items change also.

I think this is worth bearing in mind.
