#215: digitizer: let add attributes to category-less features

I suggest adding "Add a record to the table" function in the "Update
attributes" for cases when the feature has a category, but doesn't have
it's row in the table yet.
This will also allow adding attributes to category-less features *during
digitizing*: add a category with "Display/update categories", add a row in
the table for the category with "Display/update categories", edit the
attributes.

could you explain that in more detail? (my brain is a bit sleepy right now
and I don't know vdigit very well)
perhaps could you explain it to me in terms of the tcl/tk v.digit which I
am more familiar with? (thanks)
Rather than duplicate the DB attribute manager, perhaps we could
have a button in the vdigit toolbar that launches it? Would that need
something that checks every now and then if it has been externally updated
& refresh?

I agree that it could use a much smoother workflow. I am sure that this
polish will come with time; for now I'm happy with it being basically
functional.
weird workflow example: it is not exactly clear to me how to digitize new
boundaries without cat numbers. I can open the category and fumble about
selecting and right-clicking to remove the cat, but with out a help page
to tell me where to find it, I found it took me some time to figure out.

milestone adjusted as 6.4.0 is in feature freeze)
