Fix data loss (use GPKG as default format, not SHP)

As per https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19733 this addresses the issue that SHP only supports 10-char DBF column names which easily become longer when using v.rast.stats etc. The solution implemented here is to switch to GPKG as default format in the QGIS-GRASS-Processing internal data exchange and no longer use SHP.
