I have partly implemented what I described in #57, I still have work to do on 
the GUI elements.
See attached image for how it could look like (this is also the easiest to 
implement that I can think of for now).

@lemasney: I did not quite understand, click and drag on that corner then moves 
the origin? Or is the origin set where the mouse drag is released?
Your suggestion from #61 could be used in addition, good idea.

-- Scaling of offset/origin --
In which units should the origin be specified? It could use the 'default units' 
or the same ones as in the page size settings, but this would in general not 
match the rulers. If it was scaled by the ruler multiplier it would also change 
when the multiplier was changed.

-- Grid origin --
It probably often makes sense to specify the grid origin relative to the ruler 
origin. But sometimes you may want to keep an existing grid steady while just 
moving the ruler origin, so should there be an option for each grid to choose 
either 'relative to ruler origin' or 'absolute position'?

I will try to fix a few remaining gui glitches and will report back
within a few days.
