Shape tools: the selection moves from its centre point and turns outside a corner

Browse Source 
A shape just drawn keeps its bounding box with the Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle,
Ellipse, Polygon and Star tools, but its centre point (Attributes › Show Center)
did nothing and the box's handles only drew: a press anywhere started a new
shape, and with the Selection tool a press on the centre of an unfilled shape
started a marquee.

- The Selection tool now takes a press on a selected object's centre point as
  the start of a move (held by that point, so it snaps and Alt copies), as
  Direct Selection has since #4891. A click there still makes the object the
  key object of a multi-selection.
- The shape tools take it too, and take a press in the rotate zone just outside
  a bounding-box corner (the Selection tool's own zone and cursor) as the start
  of a rotation about the box's centre. Live Corners widgets keep the corners
  themselves, so a press on a corner still rounds it; every other press still
  draws a new shape. Escape cancels, as for the Selection tool's drags.

`hit_center` moves from direct.rs to select.rs, shared by the three tools.
