[josm-dev] Terracer plugin: A few ideas for improved usability

[Lambertus]

Just committed three new versions:

1) fixes a bug reported by user bastik (#4985).
2) the interpolation option is now saved between plugin starts.
3) fixes the messages text in the plugin window which got broken in an 
earlier commit (and removes the now redundant replacement message popup).

I think the plugin is in good shape now.
