Filter „Grid“ applied

It renders a Cartesian grid in the active layer, on top of the existing contents. The width, line width, offsets, and colors of the grid lines can all be set by the user. By default, the lines are with the GIMP's foreground color.

This filter is more simple than the Skyrius 14.21, „Grid (legacy)“ legacy filter.
