[Bf-committers] Option to hide center dots

[Matthew H. Plough]

I think that a preference to only show object centers for selected  
objects would be better than not showing them at all.  Showing them  
gives you the reference point for scaling and rotating, and it's  
important to keep that visible.

Martin informed me that the current method of drawing object centers  
and lamps really slows scene drawing down when lots of them are  
present, so showing them only for selected objects will give a speed  
increase right now.  However, the image texture/icon texture drawing  
method will do a lot to get rid of this bottleneck, but that's still  
in heavy development.
