- fix duplicate code and a few bugs (some are due to changes in code over the years)
- ADDED: option to export tracks and vias on external layers Exporting tracks is *very* time consuming,
and need a bit of optimization.
Makes model substitution (VRML->STEP in STEP Export) optional. This can
prevent nasty surprises where the user doesn't see/can't affect the
outcome
Also, when substituting models, do not maintain scale factor. So a VRML
model with non-unity scaling will not be export as a STEP file (of the
same name) with non-unity scaling. This is the first step to address

- The default value is 0.01 mm (according to comments and similar to the 3D viewer
settings that uses 0.02 mm)
- The export dialog has now 3 values 1 micron, 0.01mm (default) and 0.1 mm
The 0.1 micron option is removed: it makes no sense for a mechanical tolerance.
kicad2step has a tolerance level that sets whether two points are at the
same location or not. This allows KiCad to access these levels to some
degree, permitting a looser interpretation of a closed board outline.
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
The file filter wild card was defined incorrectly causing the file picker
to not display *.stp and *.step file extensions. Change the wildcard per
wxFileDialog documentation.
Prevent the file extension from being forced to .stp even when the user
defined a different extension in the file picker.
Override TransferDataFromWindow to test for file existence and warn user
only once if a file overwrite can occur.
Minor STEP export dialog string and layout improvements.
Make kicad2step honor user's file extension rather than always setting it
to .stp.
