[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Georeferencer improvements

Initially ArcMap places the image wherever it's local coordinate system
(from its source e.g. scanner) places it within the data frame. Usually
this is quite far from the area of interest.  However, ArcMap has a 'Fit to
Display' option on the georeferencing toolbar.
The workflow is 1) add the image, 2) zoom to where it should fall, 3) click
the Fit to Display button which moves it to the ballpark area, 4) begin
adding control points.
I think this would be improved by having it initially land in the middle of
the current map extent. Then its position could be adjusted with a similar
button.
