It served us (mostly) well for more than a decade. It helped KiCad grow
before the std:: came into decent shape or speed. It was a good little
list.

Pads not on copper layers now do not have a netname, and are no longer taken in account in connectivity.
Especially it avoid creating useless rats-nests for these pads.
This removes the remaining hard-coded segments counts and replaces them
with the relative error calculation where the segments per arc is
determined by the maximum error we allow (smaller arcs = fewer segments)
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

... and GetMsgPanelInfo.
Step 4 in the g_UserUnit eradication effort.
Also removes a couple of conversion routines that were close
enough to extinction.
(cherry picked from commit c75da51)
- fixed via bounding box calculation in TRACK::GetBoundingBox()
- moved clearance to TRACK::ViewBBox()
- modified the Selection Tool to use EDA_ITEM::GetBoundingBox() rather
than VIEW_ITEM::ViewBBox() to determine selection

it was due to a incorrect behavior of TRACK::GetBestInsertPoint( BOARD* aPcb )
Also: update comment for this method.

Now the heirarchical sheet selection feature includes tracks that belong
to a net spanning multiple sheets, but only by doing a logical connection
from the pads of the modules. This is to be able to select connections
between components on the same sheet. For example if the sheet contains a
star power connection or something similar, then most of the sheet local
connections will now also be included.
If there was a board with no copper layers checked as visible, the
initial GAL cache contained an empty entry for them. In such case,
toggling layers visibility have not changed anything.
The visibility condition check has been moved to ViewGetLOD() method
which serves better the purpose of dynamic visibility checks.

eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
