Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
Mainly because it creates a new keyword a new keyword in *.kicad_pcb files,
and needs some tests, this is currently a advanced feature.
Enable it by adding "UsePinFunction=1" in "kicad_advanced" config file.
Note also "UsePinFunction=1" only enable saving this info in *.kicad_pcb
and kicad_mod files.
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
The parenthesis depth is 2 when the polygon isn't closed. This
shouldn't happen but we have the fall-through to handle odd cases

(cherry picked from commit d862cdaa72)
This places the arc approximation setting in the kicad_pcb file and uses
it for all parts of the board rendering where arcs are converted to
segments. This allows the user to customize their speed vs. accuracy
tradeoff. The default setting of maximum error of 0.005mm is acceptable
for small boards on moderate systems.
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
Be more intelligent about sorting lib tree items. (Footprint
entries, for instance, come out of an already-sorted list.)
Don't recreate menus twice when laoding Footprint Editor.
More pervasive use of WX_FILENAME to avoid expensive calls to
wxFileName::SplitPath() and string concatenation.
For POSIX kernels do all the work on the file-system side so we
don't have to keep converting back and forth between encodings.
Cache the footprint info on disk (in the project).
Move timestamp-generation (and checking) to the filesystem so the
above will be bullet-proof.
Rewrite some wxWidgets classes for performance (see common.h).
This removes the existing constructors so that all parsing must
be explicit and callers are made aware that they need to think
about illegal characters, malformed ids, etc.
