Improve Edit Position mode

Clear Board now cycles trough boards:
current -> empty -> some pieces -> all pieces -> current
were 'some pieces' sows every piece type once (ad no Pawns), while
'all pieces' is the stadard opening position. In the end you get the
position that was erased back (to recover from accidental erasure).
