wxWidgets' UTF8 mode wasn't thread-safe, so we had to put mutex's on
a bunch of string operations, which meant that we couldn't return
references to strings. Now that we no longer use UTF8 mode anywhere
(and the mutex's were removed long ago), using references is a big
performance win in some places.
Now that footprint properties inherit custom fields from schematic
they are very useful.
Setting custom properties from python will also be handy in plugins
that need to somehow mark their own objects.
Stores a cache of the convex hull similar to the bounding box. Modifies
the hull based on actions to allow complex footprint graphics without delay

This no longer returns the first pad, just the first by pad sort order
in output. The call is not used correctly in pcbnew, so removing to
prevent future misuse
This attempts to fix performance when importing large changesets from schematics.
The appearance control is a BOARD_LISTENER that would otherwise redraw per item imported which may cause lockups
Also a rationalization of text polygon generators, with the "standard"
version inherited from BOARD_ITEM now giving the bounding box. This
requires callers who want the (much) more expensive stroke-based one
to call it explicitly (and brings PCB_TEXT in line with the was FP_TEXT
already was.

The new shape architecture gives us the opportunity to make text
selection much more intuitive by actually looking at the glyph
shapes. Before text would be selected when you clicked in the
descenders area (which was usually blank given uppercase letters
and digits).

It shows much more detail. Removes some nag dialogs and places
hypertext links in others.
Also fixes the auto-layer-showing to correctly show Edge.Cuts or
F.CrtYd or B.CrtYd for errors relating to them.
