Updated Camera Solver, Object Solver and Survey Solver nodes so when tracker selection is changed, that information is passed up-stream to other nodes so they can update their selection state (Auto Track, Camera Solver, Object Solver, Survey Solver, User Track will update their selection state) (support case 5950).

Updated tracking tree nodes to use Shift instead of Alt modifier to draw marquee lasso so Alt+Left button can be used to scrub frames (support case 6133).

Updated Auto Track, User Track and Target Track nodes to perform tracker selection only when no modifiers or Control modifier is active, so Alt modifier can still be used to scrub frames using the left mouse button (support case 6133).
