ADDED: Improved center point dragging

The center point on polygons now maintains the axis of the dragged line
and, optionally with Ctrl pressed, maintains the slope of the adjacent
segments as well.

This also fixes a longstanding issue that prevented the ctrl-snapping
from using the original point rather than the last updated point when
constraining.
