Stop Playhead and go to last start position

This is an incredibly useful feature I know from some other software and it
makes finding cut points much easier: stop the playhead, then jump back to
the last position, where playback started.

This can be done by adding a marker to every start position, but this is
not the real thing and actually generates MORE work, because you are
"spamming" the timeline with many markers that you probably want to delete
again in the future.

Trying to explain the workflow: it makes the editing process very much
easier to have some minimal memory available about the last playhead start
position. It is a typical situation while editing to search for some good
cut points by going back and forward, play, stop, play again and so on.
While doing that you find that perfect cut point, but you realize that only
after you have started the playhead - when that occurs, it is a fantastic
little help to be able to jump back to that perfect point where the
playhead started.

If that feature does not exist, it would be a very valuable addition. I
guess it is just a little change to implement, so that might be one of
those minimal changes that add a lot of practical value!

Thanks!
