Summary0003726: Property Editor Angle Fields Do Not Respect Units
DescriptionGui::PropertyEditor::PropertyAngleItem uses a QDoubleSpinBox with a hard-coded degree symbol.

This means that angles can not be entered in a format suitable for Civil Engineering/Surveying (d°m's" in US and grad/gon in Europe)

PropertyAngleItem should use QuantitySpinBox(?).
Steps To Reproduceset Units to a non-degree schema (currently only ImperialCivil). Add a Part::Sphere to a document. Try to edit the Angle parameters of the Sphere. Only decimal degrees are displayed/enterable.
TagsNo tags attached.

At the moment the property item still shows the degree symbol when not being edited. This is a bug in your class UnitsSchemaImperialCivil because there it still sets this symbol.
Another bug there is that negative angles are converted into positive values which makes the creation of many standard geometries impossible.

Example: Use the Create primitive dialog of the Part workbench and try to create a sphere. It will fail because lower and upper angle in v space are set to 90 degree instead of -90 and 90.
