This patch adds functionality to the Pcbnew draw tool to show the dx and
dy of the current segment being drawn if the relative origin (pressing
spacebar) is not already set (i.e. if those coordinates are ( 0, 0 ) ).
You can set the relative origin while using the draw tool by pressing
spacebar. The relative origin is reset on exit of the tool.

Passing an empty path to the 3D model select dialog results in the file
select control displaying the root path which requires the user to drill
down to get to the 3D models. Use the KISYS3DMOD path as the default
and fall back to the project path as required for the initial file
select control path.
Clean up some coding policy violations.

Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the common, 3D viewer, CvPcb, and Eeschema code paths.
Updated the use of component to symbol.
Replace all instances of "component" and "part" with "symbol" when
referring to schematic and library symbols.
Replace all instances of "component" with "footprint" when referring to
board and library footprints.
Minor dialog layout fixes to some of the dialogs impacted by the UI
string changes.
Remove redundant sizers from environment variable dialog.
Improve sizers and layout spacing of environment variable and environ-
ment variable edit dialogs.
Remove path from dialog box titles since environment variables are not
limited to file paths.
Improved help messages for both environment variable and environment
variable edit dialogs.
Restore highlighting of externally defined environment variables.
Refresh is used in the python domain to refresh the display with the current
design. If something has changed, board connectivity likely needs rebuilding.
If using GAL canvas, update its display db.
The remapping utility would create a new project specific library when a
symbolic link pointed to a library already defined in the symbol library
table. Now the comparison checks to see if the library path and file
name are actually a symbolic link if the file names are not the same when
the symbol library table entry is a file name rather than a URL. URLs
are simple string comparisons.
Disable the remap button after the remapping completed.
Remove some commented out code from the edit symbol in schematic dialog.

Allows buses to acquire junctions based on their connections. Buses
can only have junctions with other buses. Also allows buses to be
draggable junctions for collections
Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

In theory there should be no polygons with empty outline, but as you see
there was at least one leading to a crash.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

This adjusts the selection addition criteria for
blocks to allow items such as labels to connect to
lines not at the endpoints. It also uses the same
logic to correctly gather bus-wire, bus-bus entries.

Apparently explicitly requesting a column to be sorted breaks component
filtering on Windows. Without SetSortOrder() call the list is sorted and
filtering still works as expected.
Fixes: lp:1739412
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1739412
Please never ask me about the SetSortOrder() part. When it is set to
'true', wxDataViewCtrl::EnsureVisible() does not always work correctly,
so sometimes the best search result is not shown in the window (no
pattern found). Now it is set to 'false' to avoid the described
behavior, but the sorting order is reversed on Windows, not on Linux.
I could not test it on OSX, but I am sure it paints walls in your room
pink. /me burst into tears.
