legacy rectangle with corner radius

Someone introduced the term "legacy" for those rectangle and circle related
shapes, which are not custom shapes. The default is, to not show them in the
drawing toolbar. My first customizing step is always to put them back again.
Besides that, you get them via menu View > Toolbars > 'Legacy Rectangles' and
'Legacy Circles and Ovals'.

If you have an object, which has the feature 'corner radius', it is clear how
to apply it and what it does. You can change the 'corner radius' with the mouse
at well. You need the enable 'point edit mode' to get the handles.

The feature "corner radius" is available for legacy rectangles and text boxes.

My suggestion there is the same as here. But this bug was originally about the
missing help for the at that time new section "Control Point". The help text is
added, so this bug could be closed.
