Makes usage cleaner. If the user specifies that they are creating an
SMD, they should get SMD pads by default so that they don't have to
change them later.

Added hotkey for cycling through net & netclass color modes.
Added hotkey for cycling through ratsnest layer visibilities.
Added code to display hotkey (if set) on the above and on high-contrast
cycle.

If we do a real drag, the timer will be cancelled. If we don't, then
the user is still holding the mouse button down and would probably like
to see the menu. Otherwise it appears the action is dropped.
The other drawing tools allow drag selection while idle. Also, it makes
it more obvious to the user when accidentally drag selecting while
routing than just doing nothing on a drag with the routing tool selected
and idle.
We were already checking zones separately (after tracks and pads); we
just weren't setting the flag that causes the COLLECTOR to also test
zone fills.

Moving points should not be overrided by disambiguation menu, so we
track where the disambiguation event started and only trigger the menu
if the mouse hasn't moved a full unit in x/y
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9132
Previously, we were checking if the selection tool was the top of the
stack but this ignored many other "secondary" tools that might be
running such as the point editor. These still allow the selection tool
to handle events such as clicks. This change allows the selection tool
to handle clicks when it is the primary tool on the stack rather than
the top
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9110
This requires enabling the space key to be bound with shift, which was
disabled based on an overbroad limit of only allowing shift to be mapped
with letter keys
Move tool works slightly differently from other tools when figuring out
new locations. This uses the global 45 enable flag to set proper item
locations when the user is requesting a 45° constraint on movement
This standardizes selection tools in SELECTION_TOOL class to be able to
handle a long-click as asking for a non-heuristic disambiguation menu.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8490
This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

When placing a stitching via for a bypass capacitor, it is common to
place it close to the relevant pad. If the via does not have the
correct net, this will violate DRC and be prevented.
Checking for zone-based net assignments allows the workflow to proceed
This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.

Moves all of the find dialog control out of the selection tool similar
to the schematic editor. Dialog is also non-modal now to match the
schematic editor.

1) Don't wait for UpdateUserInterface to build the (global) list of
layer names.
2) Report clearance resolution between a silk layer and a mask layer.
3) When writing DRC reports, include info about the violating rule.
4) Report "no relevant layers" if we fail to find anything to write
a clearance resolution report about.

6.0 will be in the field for a long time, and the better the debugging
tools we have available the less costly it will be to maintain.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8961
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.
Note that the dialogs which have mutliple options were not moved over
as it seems perahps not the right choice to have them save state between
sessions.

When two segments are approximately parallel, we shouldn't look to find
their intersection. It will never be the nearest point and it overflows
the KiROUND call

Locking is not a concept in the footprint editor. The signature for
checking is slightly different in the alignment tool, so we need to move
the check higher to allow aligning items in fpeditor
Do not remove footprint objects from list of selected objects when there
are no drawable objects other than the reference and value text.
Increase the minimum size rectangle for footprints from 0.025mm to 1mm
when the footprint has no drawing objects so that it is easier to select
the footprint in this case.
Add some pretty colors to the footprint bounding box and hull outline
so that it's possible to tell the difference between selection areas.

We need to ensure that boards do not have duplicated KIIDs, so we repair
the duplicates when opening an existing file. This does not change the

CHANGED: Highlight net tool changed to highlight display toggle; moved to left toolbar
CHANGED: Multi-net highlight is now accessible when using the highlight net action
ADDED: Highlight Net and Clear Highlight actions to Net Tools context menu
ADDED: Default hotkey (Ctrl+`) for toggling net highlighting
The current and previous net highlight state are now stored and can be toggled
on or off with an action (no hotkey by default).
Highlight is now treated as a persistent state rather than a tool that is entered,
meaning there is no longer a special tool to enter in order to highlight nets.
Highlighting can be controlled while any other tool is active using the hotkeys
or context menu on a net object.
Tweak the icons for highlight net and layer display mode to better disambiguate them.

Differentiates better between the EDA_ITEM IsModified(), referring to
items themselves changing and the EDA_SCREEN IsContentModified(),
referring to whether we have made any unsaved changes.
After drawing a graphic, allow the control points to persist when
exiting the tool.
The effect of this is to make the first "Esc" press a
"return-to-select-tool" event without modifying the selection or control
points from within the drawing tools. The section "Esc" press, when in
the selection tool will clear the selection and the control points
called inside the board editor.
Fix also a broken behavior: the current action was not cancelled, and if it is
called during a move items (when typing the 'T' key), items were broken.
The actual bug is the fact it is called also in fp editor and footprint wizard frame,
because it is part of EDIT_TOOL action list, common to fp editor, and should not.
But a full change is much more costly than just a filter.
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
