Summary0016198: Remove rulers OPTION_SMOOTH_MARKERS code
Descriptionin ui/hruler.cpp i have a big IFDEFed chunk of code that draws the red marker for the mouse position.

but there seem to be no way to set OPTION_SMOOTH_MARKERS to true.

can i remove it?

(please do not remove it from the code now, because i'm changing big parts of the code in hruler to get it to work with RTL... and i would be glad if i could avoid merge conflicts...)

It seems that code was originally introduced by avox to improve rulers rendering on Mac. However it seems this OPTION_SMOOTH_MARKERS code is a bit buggy right now. The minor/major marks quickly disappear when you start moving the mouse and at the end all marks are drawn as major marks. That's probably why it was never enabled.

After some more investigations, it appears that what this code is trying to achieve can be solved by HiDpi or activating QPainter's antialiasing render hint. So I've taken the decision to remove this code as there are more simple ways to do what this code is trying to do.
