TODO:
* The resulting line chain is broken with the arcs, and
this appears to be some subsequent issue I was not able to pin down.
* The requirement of a correction factor is not clear to me
VIEW::GetBoundary() returns the entire view area, not the visible area.
Surprisingly, we had no API for this, so I added one.
Also, changed the dragger behavior to toggle between optimizing just the
modified area and optimizing the visible area, i.e. we will now never
optimize off-screen portions of the dragged track.
CHANGED: The interactive router settings now include a switch to
enable or disable optimization of the entire dragged track,
which is now disabled by default. When enabled, the router
will reroute the entire track (from the dragged segment to
the closest pad/via in each direction) to be more optimal.
When disabled, only the area around the dragged segment
will be modified.
CHANGED: The "optimizer effort" slider is removed from the interactive
router settings dialog, as this setting did not have any
meaningful impact in most cases and was a source of confusion.

The thickness only needs to be computed when the actual
values change, so computing on UI update is a waste of
resources and can cause UI lag.

When expanding an error to the outside of a rounded corner pad we
need to trim it to the pad bounding box or else we get little ears
where the circle approximation meets the pad square. This is expensive,
and for clearance lines we don't really care whether the error is
inside or outside.

Instead of enabling/disabling the controls on every possible
UI event in these dialogs, only do it when the actual control
wants to know if it should change status.
This code was shared between the footprint frame and
pcb edit frame, so push it into the base edit frame.
Also remove the dummy wxUpdateUIEvents that weren't
actually being used.
Use the connecting straight tracks even if not exactly parallel - allow
an error margin configurable in ADVANCED_CFG (default 1 degree). Also
be less strict about end point matching and use the width of the track
as the criteria to determine suitability.
Finally, delete any short lengths of track at the end of the operation
and amend the arc end points to keep connectivity.

The angle was `-angle` instead of `180 deg - angle` when flipping top to
bottom.
Fixing that, in turn, created some problems with justification, which
was modified both by `FP_TEXT::Flip()` and `FP_TEXT::KeepUpright()`.
What's worse, `FP_TEXT` has another mechanism for keeping the text
upright: `FP_TEXT::GetDrawRotation()` returns different angles if the
"keep upright" flag is set. But there is no analogous behavior for
justification, so the text would sometimes get shifted, and sometimes
not, depending on which mechanism was engaged. And both are used,
apparently.
Clearly, such an arrangement an open invitation to bugs and
inconsistencies. One of these mechanisms should be removed. I haven't
done this yet, and would prefer to postpone this until V6 is out.
I've fixed the justification problems, but this was by trial-and-error,
and I don't feel I really understand the behavior responsible. But I
think it's a good sign that most of my changes are line removals, not
additions. Flipping is a simple operation, it's just mirroring and layer
change. If something simple has a complicated routine, then it's
probably full of hacks.

This is under the supposition that we can't set the column widths
on some Mac instances because the host controls haven't yet been
created. This is primarily conjecture based on looking at things
that have the *possibility* of going wrong. Why this only happens
in some installs is beyond me.

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)

After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
