[Qgis-psc] QEP 8 - Vote call

It means the current QgsGeometry will be replaced by a class offering 
the same interface (but delegating the calls to an instance of the new 
geometry class).
In the test implementation, the interface is 
src/core/geometry/qgsgeometry.h and the new class hierarchy is 
src/core/geometry/qgsabstractgeometryv2.h and derived classes.

Regards,
Marco
