Rewrote the Move Selected tool to make adding and moving track/shape points much easier.
 The Move Selected tool now only moves the magenta highlighted section of the selected track or shape.
 You can click on a selected track or shape with the Move Selected tool to highlight a trackpoint, or a spot between points where you'd like to create a new trackpoint.
