Description

While painting my Majora's Mask model for the U1, i have found the hierarchy in the painting tool to be rather confusing.
E.g. It wasn't immediately clear to me that "On Overhangs Only" used the angle set in "Highlight overhang".
It also didn't make sense to me that "Section View" was in between "Pen size" and "Vertical"/"Horizontal" checkboxes.
Both settings change how i paint, while the "Section View" changes the view.

This PR tries to address those issues by restructuring the placement of UI elements.

P.S.: These changes were originally in #12741, but i decided to break up the changes into more reviewable chunks.

Summary

Place "On Overhangs only" checkbox underneath "Highlight overhang" slider (GLGizmoFdmSupports)
Move "Vertical" and/or "Horizontal" checkboxes underneath "Pen size" slider (GLGizmoSeam, GLGizmoMMuSegmentation)
Only show "Vertical" and "Horizontal" checkboxes when they affect the selected tool (GLGizmoMMuSegmentation)
fix changing window width in GLGizmoMMuSegmentation
Standardize calculation of drag_left_width and "Smart fill angle" Slider
show "Section View" slider for Gap Fill tool. The setting is applied, so it doesn't make sense to not be able to control it.
