Description 
Remove BlindSolver from ACP's components and installation







Once PinPoint 6 is out, it will install a common BlindSolver for use by both ACP and PP. This one has a change where -q produces output with RA, Dec and Plate Scale. PinPoint 6 has all-sky solcing. ACP's code must be updated to handle this change. ACP's installer should delete its older BlindSolver and UploadHelper assembly.

  Pick up user's all-sky API key if not blank in ACP, and send it to PinPoint for all-sky solving.

See this Comm Center thread by Stan McQueen. Need to pick up the Prefs.AstrometryNetAPIKey and send it to PinPoint if not empty string.

  Remove old BlindSolver and change logic to use PinPoint 6 all-sky solving. Fix display of pointing errors after all-sky for scopes that use J2000 coordinates.

Just call PinPoint's SolveAllSky()! Get rid of ACP's BlindSolver altogether. Must also modify FindLostScope script.
