Improve the Add Circle/Square tool for masking

Currently a mask primitive will always be added at the current cursor position.
But with the new tool system it would make more sense to be able to use the current mouse position to add primitives.
It should work very similar to the Add Object tool in 3D view.
Here's how it could work in Mask mode in both Clip and Image editor:

Switch to Add Circle/Square tool
Click and hold mouse button pressed to add a primitive and scale it to the desired size. Release mouse button to finish.
While dragging, hold Alt key to scale from the center, hold Shift to draw perfect square/circle instead of freeform rectangle/ellipse
Optional:
In 3d view the primitives are mostly parallel to the grid. For masking it could be interesting to be able to hold Ctrl while adding the mask to be able to rotate it.

I am removing the Needs Triage label. This is under the general rule that Design and TODO tasks should not have a status.

If you believe this task is no longer relevant, feel free to close it.
