This avoids forcing the field to the footprint name in the
library editor, which gets in the way. This doesn't specifically
inhibit the use of the field, and doesn't interfere with fields
users may have set manually (it can be cleared manually if
wished).
Removing the footprint field entirely either from all footprints
or from footprints in fpedit is quite a bit more invasive to
existing designs.
(cherry picked from commit 44b0ef64e8)
Cherry-picking forward to master to at least keep things consistent
for the time being.

The DRC annular ring width test failed to take into account that a pad
could be contained inside another pad having the same number (thermal
vias for example) which changes the effective annular width of the pad
contained within another pad. A test was added to calculate the effective
annular ring width in this case.
Added some PNS log viewer helper and test code to the PNS playground QA
utility for testing the effective pad annular width code.

The courtyards are referenced by multiple calls and will be rebuilt on
command. If this happens during zone fill (because the board timestamp
has incremented since the start) multiple threads may generate the cache
at the same time, leaving one with an invalid pointer

C++20 added new reverse and rewritten candidates. This can confuse the compiler because it'll test both A==B and B==A for overloads.
Because we were defining parent class equality overloads, A==B and B==A was considered ambigious due to both being compatible in casting.
So we needed to add explicit child class equality operator overloads
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

(It's still leaking into BOARD_COMMIT and some other places, but at
least it no longer leaks into all the edit tools.)
Also fixes some bugs when moving/copying/pasting multiple selections
containing length-tuning patterns.
Moves apply defaults settings to Board Setup (where they were
duplicated anyway due to an earlier botched merge).
Modifies the apply-to-graphics algorithm to skip copper shapes.
Modifies DRC library check to skip STROKE_PARAMS for non-copper
shapes.
- Footprints cannot be selected if they do not have items visible on the
screen
- Clicking on empty space in a footprint will select it if the space is
contained in the visible bounding box
- Clicking on a selected footprint a second time will deselect it
- Clicking on a footprint that has pads selected will still select the
footprint
This avoids having the full footprint bounding box considered when
selecting footprints (useful b/c footprint bbox is often much larger and
unexpected). Also allows non-standard footprints (e.g. silk or fab only
footprints) to be logically selected if the layers on which they have
elements are visible.

When working in high contrast mode, we want to be able to select a
footprint with only elements in, e.g. silk and fab layers.
The previous design for footprint IsOnLayer had one behavior of every
other element and a different behavior for footprints. This leads to
multiple bugs as new features use the overloaded IsOnLayer expecting it
to report if the element exists on a layer or not.
For footprints, we need a different routine to determine whether or not
to select the footprint when clicking on it. IsOnLayer will report if
the footprint has any elements on a specific layer but we don't want to
use the bbox for a hittest because large footprints with through hole
pads will exist on every layer and have an enormous bbox. Instead, we
filter footprints based on the hittest of each element. This behaves in
a more logical fashion, allowing you to select a footprint by clicking
on a visible element of that footprint.

Also moves the settings from Board Setup to Preferences > PCB Editor.
Also collapses Track Drag Mode from radio buttons to a choice menu to
save space and allow it to be with the other editing action modes.
Net tie groups are currently separated by comma. But comma is also an
allowed, albeit rare character for pad names. To allow pad names with
commas in net tie groups, the group definition must be escaped with a
forward slash for commas (and forward slashes).
Pad 1,2
Pad 2,3
Net-tie group "1\,2,2\,3"

Also adds some debugging to try to catch dangling pointers.
Also adds a cache for group bounding boxes (which will be expensive
to calculate for large groups).
