- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

The zone creation in DRAWING_TOOL was a complex event loop whici
simultaneously managed the event handling, construction of the preview
polygon and the creation and commiting of the zone, all in the same
scope. This has been broken into several pieces:
* POLYGON_ITEM preview item, used to preview the polygon in progress
* POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER is a class that collects points from user input
and used them to describe a polygon's geometry, including calculation
of 45-degree constrained leader lines
* ZONE_CREATE_HELPER is a class which deals with creating zones based on
geometry from a geometry manager and parameters from the DRAWING_TOOL
* The (much simpler) event loop in DRAWING_TOOL drives the
POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER. With a minor refactor, this loop can be reused
in future for other polygonal tools if wanted.
The polygon preview now has a translucent fill which makes it easier to
visualise the zone.
This also adds the Close Zone Outline and Delete Last Corner actions as
part of the new event loop.

This adds the microwave tools to GAL in Pcbnew as a new tool:
MICROWAVE_TOOL.
Some new preview items are introduced to support this:
* TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER for managing construction of two-point
geometries, such as that used to construct the inductor.
* CENTRELINE_RECT_ITEM a preview item to draw ractangle with a given
aspect ratio along a line (specified using a TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER)
PCB_TOOL gets a generic event loops which should be useful for more
than just microwave tools:
* doInteractiveItemPlacement() - handles event loops that wait for a
click, create an item on click and then allow moving it
around/flipping, etc.
Fixes: lp:1531323

This makes it possible to access the creation functions
for the microwave inductor externally, so that it can be
used from GAL.
Unlike the Gap/Stub tools, the inductor tool is more interactive, and
doesn't just return a MODULE*.
Introduces a new directory in pcbnew called 'microwave' to better
isolate generic (i.e. canvas-agnostic) functions, and a namespace MWAVE
to avoid polluting the global namespace.
For a start, this contains the GAL display settings (AA settings and
grid styling).
In future, other modedit-specific settings could go here too.

This simplifies the (already simple) SELECTION_AREA class. It is also
moved into KIGFX::PREVIEW and put in the common library, where it can be
reused by other GAL-aware tools (not just in Pcbnew) in future.
SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
This means the dialog can be accessed from both GAL and legacy modes.
This also removes the use of static bools for passing the selection
states and instead used a struct of values passed in by the calling
code.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
This commit brings several changes:
- Add a footprint preview pane to the eeschema component selector
- Upgrade component list to wxTreeListCtrl
- Factor out wxTreeListCtrl subclass TWO_COLUMN_TREE_LIST which
patches a column size bug
- Linkify datasheet URL in info pane
This makes "rotate" into two separate TOOL_EVENTs, which each have a
"multiplier" parameter.
Also added is a namespace for 'free functions' that use TOOL_EVENT
public interfaces (perhaps with other inputs too) to centralise some
decision-making and calculations.

DIALOG_EXCHANGE_MODULE class now has its own header file in the
pcbnew/dialogs directory, and the xchgmod.cpp files was moved along with
it. This has two aims:
* (minor) Standardise the location of "base dialog" derived classes,
like most other dialogs in KiCad.
* (major) Allow inclusion of this dialog class into both legacy-mode
pcbframe.cpp and into GAL tools.
This implements the pad import/export to the board's master pad setting
in the GAL canvases.
Implemented as a new GAL tool: PAD_TOOL.
It uses the same dialog, which has been split out into its own files in
pcbnew/dialogs, rather than along with frame methods in
pcbnew/globaleditpad.cpp.

This plugin mechanism is enabled only if option -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON (it is off by default)
It imply -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=0N
This is currently for testing purposes only for developers, not yet for users.
Add a class TOOL_MENU, which provides a management class for a
CONDITIONAL_MENU and a set of CONTEXT_MENUs. The aim of this is to
provide a central place where all TOOL_INTERACTIVEs can get a "basic"
context menu that either they or other tools can register new items and
sub-menus against.
This means that "top-level" tools no longer need to manage the lifetimes
of any CONTEXT_MENUs that they add, and can also delegate simple menu
display functions.
Add pcbnewPYTHON_wrap.cxx to the list of files to apply -Wno-suggest-override
compiler flag to prevent compiler warnings on file that is generated by SWIG.
This allows the warning to be active for code which would benefit from
it, but not spew hundreds of warnings for code over which KiCad does not
have control of the override specifiers.
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
