Insert lock stitches / reverse stitch order

With StitchBuddy v3.2 some improvements were introduced, especially for working with shapes:

• Lock stitches can be inserted before and after jumps to prevent a design from dissolving. This option (and the lock stitch length) can be set in the app's preferences as a global setting. Once enabled - which is the default - lock stitches can be manually inserted in selections, too.
• The stitch order of selected stitches can be reversed, for example to shorten jump stitches. Depending on your embroidery machine and its trimming capabilities this might be an improvement. Be aware that depending on your selection underlay stitches might end up on top.

In addition selections can be rotated by mouse, the context menu keeps selected stitches and is more consistent, and a lot of minor improvements and corrections were incorporated
