Connectivity takes an absolute approach to whether elements are
connected. DRC will be adjusted to check to illegal necks that are less
than the board minimum width
Handling ratsnest requires first checking for modules, handling their
pads and then checking that the remaining elements derive from
BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM

This moves the generated files out of the source tree and into
the build directory. They are now regenerated each time they are
needed, based on the timestamp of the generated file compared to
the timestamp of the lemon file.
To do this, we also bundle lemon into the thirdparty directory
and build it for ourselves since it is a very tiny program and
not all platforms seem to distribute it in a consistent manner.

This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.

This ensures the colors used by the status text pane in the preview
widget are the same as the canvas, so there is a seemless transition
between the two.
Additionally, remove the scrollbars from the symbol preview widget
in the place symbol dialog - they are pointless.
This is the proper fix for the symbole preview widget. It will ensure
there are no size changes between the two panels (preview and status),
and also ensure that the status panel has the same background color as
the preview panel.

Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.

This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path
(see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5115)
ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
KiCad stores 3D cache files but never gets rid of any of them.
This patch adds a new function called 'CleanCacheDir()'. Any cache
files older than the passed 'number of days' parameter are deleted.

Previously it would just not open any project at all. This
was a problem for some launchers, which would pass an empty string
when no file is passed by the user.
