It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board

* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
Before, if the tools were activated from the context menu,
they would start drawing where the menu item was selected
instead of where the menu was opened.
The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%
sure it will break something, I just haven’t a clue what.

This removes unused static function in page layout editor, unused
variable in pcb_painter and restors the gcc unitialized fix for
pcbnew's drawing_tool.
Includes the addition of an onSetCursor() handler which must be called
from both the GAL canvas AND the GAL backend (at least on OSX) to prevent
cursor flickering between (for instance) pencil and arrow.
Also includes new architecture for point editors which allows them to
coordiate cursors with the editing tools (so we can switch to an arrow
when over a point).
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)
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

Two issues:
* Unassigned hotkeys were being passed to WX in the menu strings as
"<unassigned>". WX doesn't recognise this, and prints debug each time.
Unassigned hotkeys are no longer rare or naughty, so we shouldn't provoke
debug spew. Suppress by not appending hotkey strings for actions with 0
(i.e. unassigned) hotkey IDs.
* The zone cutout tool uses GR_KB_SHIFT, not MD_SHIFT. This causes
"unknown hotkey" spew from WX.
Mouse capture end is called by some actions such as save board. This
resets the cursor image but doesn't change the current tool. Resetting
the cursor image during action prevents this.

When using "Place Text" the crosshair was freezing if cancelled before

When drawing segments, the segment will be NULL'd after committing, at

Fixes: lp:1796467

Since we are handling snapping in the grid helper, we don't need to
enable it in the cursor position return. This allows the grid helper to
use the frame position while optionally snapping to segments.
This ensures that when starting to draw a zone or graphic element, the
preview is drawn in the same color/on the same layer as the element that
will be created. Previously, beginning a graphic polygon while a copper
layer was active would result in the preview being drawn in the color of
the active copper layer.

This introduces a new util function in geometry_utils which snaps a vector
to axes or 45 degree lines. This can be used whenever you want to
snap a vector to these angles, but still want it to stay on a grid.
This snapping is used for the dimension tool and the ruler tool.
This is substantially simpler for two-point tools that the method
used by the line tool, which uses DIRECTION_45.

Circles are defined by center and a point on their edge. This requires
the user to do extra math to figure out the size of the circle. The
patch allows the user to edit and draw circles using radial coordinates.
This allows the user to selectively disable the snap-to behavior when
placing stand-alone vias. Full solution will require an update to the
segment distance calculation that takes into account the rounded line
caps.

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.

angle, you can go back to setting start point, etc) using Backspace, and
Ctrl snaps the start/end angles to 45 degree multiples.
This adds new classes
* MULTISTEP_GEOM_MANAGER: represents a generic "geometry manager" that
builds up some geometrical construction based on a sequence of points.
Used by:
* ARC_GEOM_MANAGER: handles the logical flow of constructing an
arc by centre-point, set radius, set angle. This moves the logic out
of the Pcbnew DRAWING_TOOL event loop in drawArc().
* ARC_ASSISTANT: graphical overlay to communicate current arc shape to
the user during the drawing process
