Variable netBuffer contains all NET_INFO items, whereas max_netcode
value is determined only basing on pad nets. After a netlist update
there still might be a NETINFO_ITEM that is not assigned to any pad and

Display GALs had an incorrect world unit value set. Now the world unit

It is possible for an async thread to simply be deferred if not
specifically set to async. In which case, until the return value is
requested, the loop may simply wait.
By decoupling from std::thread, we can avoid the wait/sleep cycle in
checking the std::atomic completion variable. The std::future variables
are immediately returning without the additional atomic check cycle.
This minimizes the thread usage, particularly during online actions such
as moving items and routing.
UpdateRatsnest: Minimized the number of atomics by utilizing future
promise. Avoided updating node-less nets. Node-less nets are common in
the dynamic ratsnest because the net vector is created from the board
nets by value but only populated with a subset. So the dynamic ratsnest
calculation always saw every net as dirty and spun up extra threads.
searchConnections: ParallelThreadCount is no longer lower bounded.
Small item counts are handled inline rather than with a separate thread.
When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being

Rather than forcing each thread to iterate over the full nets list to
find the dirty items, we collect the dirty items first before asking the
threads to address them. This prevents thread spinning. We also
amortize the cost of calculating on an 8-net per thread basis rather

Locks protect the std::set in each item. Devolving the mutex to the
CN_ITEM allows multiple threads to make simultaneous connections to
different items where they do not conflict.

Deselection by clicking on a zone makes working with plane zones easier

Updating connectivity should not need to iterate over the full item list
in each thread. Instead, we collect the dirty items first and then
iterate only over the dirty list.
Our connectivity data threads the ratsnest update based on the number of
nets that have changed. If we are only changing one net (the case when
routing) then making a full thread to update the net is pointless
because we wait for the thread to finish before continuing. This spins
that off to an inline lambda for single updates while still making
threads for multiple ratsnest changes.
This shows the snap indicator even when the item we are snapping to
occurs on a grid point, giving the user an indication that the point is
correctly connected.
Many items require precise, non-grid movement. Adding the ability to
