Adding missing-gal-tool as this is possible in legacy mode.

Also, this is related to lp:1448460 as that is essentially the same function, but with all segments at once.

@Jeff- This is the undo last step command action that is missing. Art's bug is about deleting tracks while routing which just need the delete key.

@Seth, as I understand it the backspace key used to undo the last step, while the delete key deleted the entire track. (I think both now delete the entire track.)

The undo command existed in legacy but never was ported to GAL. This is one of the last missing GAL tools.

The hotkey assigned to it is secondary to the missing functionality (which is the focus of this bug).
