Remove editing buttons from the editors #1527

Let's discuss this. My idea is to remove all the editing buttons (add, remove and rollback) from the editors and let the user edit directly the layer on the layer tree. Now that the layers are separated in groups and some layers are hidden, it will be easier to the user to find what he is looking for. We can use signals when data is added/edited to the layers to populate information on the comboboxes. It seems that theses buttons are more confusing than helpful.

Not a bad idea but let's implement it carefully. For example, the BC editor buttons are more intuitive than selecting the layer and editing from there.

Good candidates for this idea. I'm using the file name but you'll understand. xsec fpxsec hystruc infil

Bad Candidates BC InitialCondition

The initial condition editor is not a good candidate because those layers are kind of hard to find and understand. BC layers are simply confusing.

Do we need schema layers for IC?
