Unlike eeschema, PCBNew has had a selection model for two major
releases so folks have gotten used to RMB acting on the selection
rather than what's under the mouse.
Plus it makes RMB after a drag-select nearly useless as your mouse
by definition ends up outside the selection bbox.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5857
Before the selection filter, this heuristic made sense, but
now there is an explicit toggle to disable selection of locked
items, so we want to be able to select pads when that toggle
is enabled.
Also simplifies groups so that other areas of code that have to know
about them at least don't have to know as much. One of the simplifications
is to not worry so much about empty groups until save time; others are in
the access logic to parent groups.
Also simplifies user model slightly by removing Merge and Flatten
(which are just ungroup/group and ungroup/ungroup/.../group).
Also allows multiple groups to have the same name. This is useful when
using groups for a classification system.

CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.

ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5647
ADDED: Make middle mouse button double click do a 'Zoom to Fit'
in Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Gerbview. Ctrl-MMB does a 'Zoom to Objects'
in Eeschema.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1988
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
Right now we can't track the intended item to deselect
when there's an active selection already.
Having this feature available just from the appearance panel
should be fine.
My only guess is the old code predated the introduction of
GetLayerSet(). In any case it was long-winded and still didn't
catch the case of being on copper layers other than front or back
(which might be hidden).
CHANGED: This code fixes an issue where bringing up the clarification
menu and moving off it while keeping the button pressed the entire
time caused an assertion.
