This avoids giving KICAD_T another meaning, which is especially messy here
as "select up to the next via" is encoded as SCH_JUNCTION_T, which belongs
to eeschema.
Also, document what is happening.
This change makes it so that we don't run the event loop inside
the commit. It's not clear this is an issue, but it seems safer
not to.
Fixes: lp:1852589

We were running into various corner conditions where a tool's event
loop would exit while the tool was still active, or the tool would
get popped while we were still in the event loop. (A lot of these
had to do with the POINT_EDITOR's, but not all of them.)
The new architecture:
1) tools always do a Push()/Pop()
2) everyone is responsible for their own pops; no more stack-clearing
on a cancel
3) CancelInteractive events go to all tools to facilitate (2)
When routing in high-contrast mode, the user may wish to place items
that are primarily on a different layer while remaining in high contrast
mode. This fixes a regression from 4.0.7

Instead of a nag screen for locked items, we allow first the unlocked
items to be deleted and then, with a repeated request, the locked items.
This adds a popup cursor window informing the user of the option for
repeating the delete

If the user is carefully selecting the zone edge, we do not filter the
zone preemptively from our disambiguation list in the same manner as we
do for selecting on zone copper.

Allows selection of polygons and zones by their visible area. Will only
select polygons/filled areas when they are unobstructed by other
elements in the footprint/pcb. Also adds a "skip heuristics" modifier
key for clicking (ALT) that allows the full disambiguation list to be
displayed without removing less-likely elements. This dovetails the
zone/polygon selection as it allows selecting even when areas a fully
overlapped.

New algorithm more targetted and just clears the items. This
also obviates the need for the aQuietMode flags.
Only fixes one part of the bug, but the "fixes" line is the
easiest way to get a link in the bug to the commit.

Some other tools (in this case the POINT_EDITOR) aren't good
citizens and activate themselves when receiving selection
changes.
Fixes: lp:1785781

This not only reduces the number of different mechanisms, but
will also reduce (yet again) the number of Clarify Selection
pop-ups (because the CLIENT_SELECTION_FILTER runs before the
pop-up, while SanitizePads ran after it).

(cherry picked from commit e50a993)
The old item pointers (which aren't safe to keep around) were
removed in favour of opaque references (void*) which are then
compared against existing items when needed.
Also improves brightening by brightening the whole footprint
(ie: its pads, drawings, reference and value) rather than just
its target cross.
(cherry picked from commit 30e90b0)
Commit complementary to 4f0c9b6b. In case there were multiple tracks
under the cursor, disambiguation was shown twice because
SELECTION_TOOL::selectConnection() cleared the selection and requested
it again.
Some actions, such as select trivial connection, don't need the
user to choose which trace at a corner to start from -- either
one will do. Same for moving a simple trace corner.
Likewise, Edit in Footprint Editor shouldn't ask if you mean the
footprint or the pad. Obviously it's the footprint.
This change adds a CLIENT_SELECTION_FILTER which allows clients
to do tool- or action-specific filtering of the selection before
the disambiguation menu is run.
It also removes some tool- and action-specific code which was
in the selection_tool and shouldn't have been.
