New: Constants calculation

How does it work? Have a look at the above screenshot and imagine you like to multiply some numbers
with the same multiplier, lets say 2. You start with 2*2=
Now DeskCalc remembers this multiplyer and uses it next time you need it. Any time you enter a number
and press ENTER will result in a multiplication with 2. Have a look at the second calculation to
see how it works. 

The same works for divisions and percentage calculations. The last operation overrides the last constant and
becomes the new constant. Here are some more examples:

 Input        Output
 2 * 2 =       4
 8=            16
 3=              6
-----------------------
 8 / 2 =       4
 16=           8
