Paint Bucket tool enhancement

Paint Bucket tool can now be used in continuous fill mode. The tool does live filling on the regions/contours as you drag over the shapes. You can choose to fill all the regions as you drag or, only have empty regions and specific color regions filled:

• When Fill all regions checkbox is selected -  Fill color is applied over all the contours/regions that you drag over.
• When Fill all regions checkbox is unselected - Fill color is applied over empty regions or, wherever the starting color is found.

This drag fill option allows easier and faster mechanism of coloring into shapes drawn using the brush tool.
