pcbnew: allow opening track properties during track placement

Description

Hitting (E) should open current segment track properties while placing a track.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Hit (E) while placing a track (X).
  2. It is expected that track properties will open;
  • I would like to enter a custom trackwidth (not currently entered inside pcb properties table) and continue routing with it;
  1. Properties of other items will be opened, instead of current track properties (this is an issue);
  • Properties of zone or P2 footprint will be opened in situation from the screenshot:
