Did some whitespace editing to match surrounding code, rebased to latest master, then forwarded it to master.

Application behaviour is now just fine and intuitive. Excellent work!

Regarding refactoring:

- It looks like HID_SC_CENTER_IN_VIEWPORT and HID_SC_PAN_VIEWPORT do pretty much the same, so joining both would reduce code duplication. HID_SC_PAN_VIEWPORT is used for moving the mouse pointer by the keyboard (how ancient are such habits?!) and doesn't really work anyways (once the pointer gets too near to a pin or a via it's caught and can't leave this pin by keyboard operations).

- Making the flags a bitfield could further reduce code duplication, then one could send a ghid_send_crosshair(x, y, HID_SC_WARP_POINTER & HID_SC_PAN_VIEWPORT) to get the both.

I think its best to leave HID_SC_WARP_POINTER and HID_SC_PAN_VIEWPORT around, as they
are visible as a user action and therefore might actually be in use via a script or something
somewhere. However since they don't really work right both they and the user action
should be marked as deprecated. These aren't currently used anywhere besides the action.

Regarding bit field it sounds like a fine way to do it but I'm going to work on some other
problems with DRC first I think.
