Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
This is the first step to allowing non-segments in the line chain.
External routines cannot be allowed to change the line chain without
going through the internal routines. To accomplish this, we remove the
Vertex() and Point() access routines and only leave the const versions.
Transformations are given for both points as well as the chain itself.
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
Therefore, for some footprints, the right footprint was not associated to the component.
The hash calculation was using a XOR to combine 2 sub hash values.
This is not a strong way to combine these hash values.
They are now added. Looks better to identify similar and different footprints.

create_vrml_shell() needed the idxSide check but create_vrml_plane only
had an extra variable that wasn't used and so shouldn't be checked.

In rare cases, the VRML triangulator may claim to work but return empty
vectors. These cases need to be caught before we dereference the vector
elements.

Make the data generation code separate from the dialog code.
The dialog itself does not include anymore the data generation code.
Non SMD footprints forced in list are now displayed in the dialog.
The attribute MOD_CMS is no longer silently modified (without undo command) by the dialog.
In .gbrjob file, one can specify the thickness and color of some layers.
Currently, there is no way to enter these parameters.
This commit prepare a better support of .gbrjob files.
Oblong holes (slots) use now a aperture attribute similar to round holes.
(The previous attribute "slot" is now deprecated)
However they have a specific aperture, and a comment is added in drill files for these apertures.
* Circular gal<->common dependency bites again. Add 'common'
again to the 'kicad' target's link libraries. libgal.a depends
on SHAPE_POLY_SET in common, but common depends on gal. This is
not a real fix, but it unsticks Linux compilations. Fixing the
circular dep is an existing bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1832229
* Missing LEGACY_HK_NAME for ACT_EndTuning: this was probably accidentally
allowed on some other platform due to different wxString constructors.
On Linux/GCC, it breaks.
* Unused include from /kicad in export_vrml.cpp. This is not findable
on Linux, as pcbnew does not include the right dirs for this to be
found. But it's not used, so just remove it.
This corrects an issue with fill segments-per-circle and moves the error
to segmetns calculation down in a number of functions to expose the
single value for approximation
This removes the remaining hard-coded segments counts and replaces them
with the relative error calculation where the segments per arc is
determined by the maximum error we allow (smaller arcs = fewer segments)
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
Added checks to StrCmpNum() function in common/sting.cpp to prevent
iterating past the end of the sting. Also removed length of string
parameter since it did not seem to be used anywhere.

Using the normal command, oval holes are "drilled" by a route command.
Some board houses do not accept this normal command.
In this case, the drill dialog allows using an other Excellon drill command (a slotted hole).
Note also some board houses do not understand this alternate command!
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
SEGZONE types were confusingly named PCB_ZONE_T. Zones in pcbnew are
now _only_ PCB_ZONE_AREA_T, so we name segzone types PCB_SEGZONE_T to be
clear.
This also removes processing of the SEGZONEs from connectivity
calculations.
It can be used instead of the slot (G85) command to create oval holes.
Do not yet activate it.
Oval holes frequently create issues with board houses.
Using a more usual routing (G01) command could solve some issues.
Small icons for dialog browse, refresh, and row operations.
Icons in B&W so they don't over-emphasize with respect to other
controls in the dialog.
Layout cleanup for consistency. Removal of the blank space to
left of the fields list in the Global Fields Editor, and addition
of column-sizing-to-list-width.
More even spacing for buttons in html report panel.
Honor platform conventions for action button order and layout.
Move netlist importer to update-pcb-from-schematic algorithm
(display messages and then update instead of "dry run" checkbox)
(cherry picked from commit b21e19d)
In case there are zero width oval holes on the PCB,
it is safer to not plot them at all, rather than plotting
with width arbitrarily increased to 10 mils.
This also makes Gerber outputs consistent with Excellon outputs.
m_Zone is a fully deprecated list of SEG_ZONE items (similar to TRACK), used to fill copper zones in *very old* boards.
it is even unlikely there are still boards that use them.
So it should be removed one day.
Corrected polygon export missing vertex.
Set pads to export on copper layer when not masked, keeping visual
output similar to physical.
