A common operation is to toggle a group of geometry to/from construction. This happens often
in connection with carbon copy operations.
When this happens, geometry is often selected using box selection.
If there are geometry points (which are generally construction), and selection box is used, this
results in construction points being toggled to normal defining mode. This situation is undesirable
in 99% of the cases. It requires to reselect only the points and toggle them back.
When construction points need be made defining geometry (for example to use them as attachments), the
general workflow is to select only those points and toggle them.
In order to improve the efficiency, it has been decided to provide a special behaviour for construction
toggling:
1. Vertices will only be toggled to/from construction IF ONLY vertices are selected.
2. If there is a mixture of edges and vertices, vertices will be ignored during the toggling operation.
...the extra points created on rounded rectangles, it started to become a real pain when box selecting large amounts of geometry and having to keep changing the two points back to construction. New and existing users are completely unaffected.

Fixes an issue reported directly by Chrisb.
On overlapping points, such as due to coincidence, selection and
preselection (e.g. from the ElementsWidget) is not shown for those
points which are rendered first.
Solution: To raise the points to the highlight height.

I promised Uwe I would look into improving the information of the solver messages, including the abbreviation DoF.
I wanted to keep the effort by Paddle to reduce the width of the taskbar.
This commit introduces new explanatory tooltips for the hyperlinks, a different tooltip per type of information.
UrlLabel sets the tooltips automatically to the url text on change. This commit modifies the tooltip just after the change,
so that the meaningful tooltip is shown.

The scaling factor used was the one of the ViewProviderSketch, however ZoomTranslation uses its own scaling factor.
