Regenerate controls points automatically from the control points window

[ecs1749]

In the control points window of Hugin, it would seem there can be a function that simply try to create control points automatically using only the two photos I am looking at.  Kind of like having the Align button from Assistant but have it work only for the two pictures as displayed in the control points window.  This would save a lot of time trying to match two pictures (when the first pass through the Asistant misses).   I was hoping that the fine-tune button would do that but it doesn't.  In fact, I don't see that the fine-tune button does anything.

Fine-tune adjusts the right-picture control point to match the left-picture control point. Select a control point pair in the list and hit Fine-tune, if the points are slightly misaligned, Fine-tune will correct them. If the two points are completely different, Fine-tune can make things actually worse.

This is an often requested feature, the nearest you can get is to
select these two photos in the Images tab and click the Create
Control Points button.

I'd say it is very much what ecs1749 wants. Maybe it would help new
users if the 'create control points' button in the images tab said on
or next to the button that it will create CPs for the *selected*
images only if there is s selection. It says so in the context help
which pops up when you hover over the button, but who ever hovers
there? I suppose noone suspects this finer point, and it had to be
explained here several times already. There is plenty of empty space
near the button, why not filll it?

But a shortcut to run the CPG on the two images currently displayed in
the CP tab would be a nice addition as well, and there's space in that
tab, as well.
