offer option to orthogonalize a building based on selected nodes, not just the way

[flaimo]

often buildings are mainly square, but sometimes a part of the building is a semicircle, or something like that. as soon one has to deal with such a building it is not possible to use the orthogonalize function since it would mess up the part which shouldn't be orthogonalized.

it would be nice to be able to apply the orthogonalize function only on parts of a building /selected nodes and keep the rest untouched.

One workaround is to draw each part of the building independently, and use "join overlapping areas" in the end.

Sometimes I need to split some highways in a lot of smaller pieces, orthogonalize them all and then merge all the ways back to the original one.

Using the attached example, we should be able to select just some nodes (example=yes in the file) and orthogonalize them.

In 9925/josm:

see #6401 - Orthogonalize objects based on selected nodes

This is done by assembling a virtual way from the selected nodes. This is sensitive to the selection order.

Possible enhancements:

• use case from comment:2
• make it independent on selection order
