[Suggestion] Combine Time wasting and GK in Possession

Suggestion:  Combine [Time Wasting] and [Goalkeeper in Possession] into a single [Restart play] attribute with the following levels [Quickly/Standard/Slowly] (or potentially a 5-tick slider).

Reasoning:

- Having 2 different levels of time wasting seems a bit excessive as a stand-alone setting

- Quick free kicks should be a thing

- The two are essentially linked anyway, it would just extend the GK behaviour to other set pieces further up the field

- The two settings can be contradictory.  E.g. [Time wasting: Never][GK: Slow pace down] or [Time wasting: Frequently][GK: Distribute Quickly]

I would imagine that (in addition to the time taken) the different settings may have a effect on the outcome of Indirect free kick or corner routines.  E.g. [Restart play:Quickly] may result in a [stand with hand on ball] animation as the player looks for a quick pass to restart.  For a short period, the player would weigh up the set piece using the [Short] option, before reverting to whatever was set in the tactic if no opportunity is identified (much like GK or short distribution).

Overall I think this setting would combine two less meaningful options into one more meaningful one.

You can want your keeper to take their time on the ball (in order to pick a pass) but not necessarily want your team to time-waste. Though understand how that can be interpreted differently. Thanks for your suggestion, it may or may not end up in a future FM with further development.
