This selection improvement feature is hidden behind the advanced
configuration key "PcbSelectionVisibilityRatio". It is turned off (1.0)
by default. Value values are from 0.0 to less that 1.0. From testing,
using a value between 0.1 and 0.3 produces the best results.
This fix uses normal alpha blending described in the link below. The
current design only uses the alpha of the object's color. It could be
improved by doing a full color alpha blending but using the color alpha
alone seems to result in satisfactory results.

The hack assumed that the parent group would be the first
deleted item of type group in the undo list. While this
will be true when undoing a user ungroup command, it will
not be when undoing an ungroup side-effect, such as when a
member of a group is deleted during UpdateFromPCB.

The old bottom to top layer stack up sequence from back to front layer was
only used for plotting so it was renamed appropriately. This will be used
for future board object select disambiguation improvements.
The schematic librayr table was missing the Kicad Sexpr filter, and also
the filter inside the grid editor was never updated when the library
plugin type was changed in the grid, so a library of the new type could
not be selected.

Set a default control so that the escape key closes the dialog.
Select the OK button after the user selects an annotation option. This
allows for keyboard navigation of the dialog and saves an extra mouse
move and click to when choosing an annotation setting.
The router preview item can be specific to the part that is being
tuned, rather than the whole net. It's also less visually noisy as
it doesn't dim/undim the rest of the board.
Using kigfx preview items for the status keeps us from having a bunch
of focus issues with the status popup window.
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

At best it leads to the wrong units being used if they're different
between (for instance) PCB Editor and Footprint Editor. (And this
will only get worse if we ever to to a single binary.)
At worst it causes crashes when accessing freed ORIGIN_TRANSFORMS.

Note: while we try to omit sizing info from FBP files, the list
controls assume way too wide a minimum width if they're not set.
Furthermore, sizing the dialog ends up leaving them a certain size
and clipping other elements is the dialog itself doesn't have limits
set. Sigh.
(It's still leaking into BOARD_COMMIT and some other places, but at
least it no longer leaks into all the edit tools.)
Also fixes some bugs when moving/copying/pasting multiple selections
containing length-tuning patterns.
