They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

(In English both were 'Set', but that means our translation framework
won't support two different strings in other languages. Changed to
'Add' and 'Added'.)

Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.

Also fixes some latent bugs with not updating the local ratsnest
visibility in other places, and the netcode in update PCB from schematic.

The canvas keeps a reference to the settings object, so we
can't pass one from the stack because it runs into lifetime
issues.
Also cleanup some loop-iterator problems.

These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
