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.
The snap obeys only the Ctrl key and not the global preference setting
for drawsegments because rectangles are _always_ on H/V lines when drawn

This is a board file format change to account for the new properties.
Also, we now only store the critical information about the dimension's
geometry in the board, rather than storing every drawn line.
The DIMENSION object is now an abstract base, and ALIGNED_DIMENSION
is the implementation that exists today (we will add more dimension
types in the future)
You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
CHANGED: If a rectangle is drawn and the location of the second corner
is the same as another rectangle's second corner, Pcbnew crashes. The
reason is that a call is made to DRAWSEGMENT::GetLength(), but that
function only handles shapes of type S_CURVE and S_SEGMENT. This code
checks if the overlapping end points are from a rectangle and if so
it doesn't call DRAWSEGMENT::GetLength().

ADDED: Allow DXF/SVG graphics to be imported as a group
Also, cleanup the placement routine to allow the edit tool's flip
and rotate routines to be used when placing the items.
This is a really hard problem to get right. This algorithm won't
look quite right if you assemble a paragraph from disjoint text
objects and flip them all top-to-bottom (as it will re-order the
text). But this is really the nature of the problem (and has to
stay that way to correctly flip disjoint graphic items or mixed
text and graphic items). The real fix here is to support text
wrapped in a single text box.

As long as the arc angle stays below <60°, it will automatically choose between
clockwise and counter clockwise. This allows the user to choose the direction
with a simple mouse movement.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
