Add 'Reverse Engineer Point' tool
Add a 'Reverse Engineer Point' tool which calculates the distance and angle from a given point to a new point and autofills in the formula. This tool would be helpful in implementing issue #258: Add 'Tracing Mode'.
This is the reverse of the 'Point from distance and angle' tool.
Use case: The user selects the 'Reverse Point' tool and clicks on the canvas. The dialog box pops up and the user selects the given point to use to calculate distance and angle. The formula is filled in with distance and angle.

#258Add 'Tracing Mode':- 'And we don't need a 'Reverse Engineer Point' tool. You current problem is tool 'Point from distance and angle'. The tool, in current state, can't calculate distance yourself. I know how to fix it.'
The functionality can be added to current 'Point from Distance and Angle' tool.

Still can't understand how the tool works. Looks strange for me.
