Summary0004298: Feature request: Preserve current value of property when converting to expression
DescriptionIt would be nice if property values were automatically transferred into the expression input field when the property is converted into an expression.
Steps To Reproduce1. Start FreeCAD, create a new document, create a cube
2. Manually move cube to any position, for example (x=1,y=1,z=1)
3. Select the Placement.Position.x property and press "=" to convert it to an expression.

Result: The expression input field is empty. If you want to base your expression on the previously set value, you have to type it in again.

Expected result as per this feature request: The expression input field is pre-populated with the current value of the property and that part of the text is selected. You can press any key to start writing a new expression from scratch, or press "End" in order to append to the existing value.

[Expression] Default to current 'constant' value when editing if no expression set yet ; fixes 0004298

Move signals connecting before value initialization so it's not needed to call them manually
Only spin boxes implemented (should be the major usage)
