RECTANG: add a Center Rectangle construction mode (#1895)

* RECTANG: add a Center Rectangle construction mode (#1127)

The first point of RECTANG was always a corner. A new Center option makes it
the rectangle's centre, so the second point (or Dimensions/Area) builds it
outward evenly: centre 10,10 with a corner at 14,16 gives 6,4 to 14,16.

- interactive: a Center keyword at the first prompt (Chamfer keeps the c
  shortcut; Center matches ce or the full word), which also changes the
  prompt to Specify center point for rectangle;
- JSON: center: true on rectang, keeping p1/p2 and the default corner mode
  unchanged;
- rotation turns about the centre; chamfer, fillet, width, elevation and
  thickness apply as before; the rubber band previews the centred rectangle;
- params documentation updated.

Tests: centre-point geometry for p2, dimensions and area, rotation, fillet,
chamfer, width, thickness, the interactive keyword and preview, and the
unchanged default corner mode.

Fixes #1127

* docs: document the functions touched by #1127

* RECTANG: the Center option is CEnter, so C stays Chamfer's shortcut (as PLINE)
