Add Eraser tool - Githubissues

This is an interesting problem in a vector-drawing program.  I can easily draw 
over existing vectors 
with the background color, but that creates more cruft in the save file and 
doesn't work well with 
onion-skinning.  A better solution is to truncate existing lines where the 
eraser passes over them, 
or remove them from the file if they are erased completely.

There is an alternative, which is to allow the user to select lines with a 
selection tool and delete 
them, which would probably be simpler to implement, but less intuitive for 
younger users.  
Exposing the drawn lines for later manipulation is one of the goals of the 
project, though, so that 
might be the better way to go, rather than pretending to be a paint program.
