Attempting to create an array of footprint child objects other than a pad
causes the crash due to the fact that only pads where checked. The change
now checks if any object has a footprint as a parent. This should prevent
any future issues when new footprint child objects are added.
There was also another subtle bug fixed when more than one child object of
a footprint were selected, the array feature would make as many copies of
the footprint as selected child items.

(cherry picked from commit 9e1caa0d39)
ADDED: Option to assign unique reference designators to footprints
created with the array tool [pcbnew]
CHANGED: Array creator dialog no longer displays pad numbering properties
when in the board editor. [pcbnew]

The unique_ptr was useful when the original function took multiple paths
which could de-scope the pointer. Current use allowed potential
use-after-free. This is now re-written to pass pointer directly.
The module refdes always increment by one. This is problematic
for two reasons:
* It doesn't work when more than one FP is selected (say you have
C1 and C2, you get C1, C2, C2, C3)
* It messes with simple panellisations
The 5.0.x behaviour is to not renumber in Pcbnew, so revert to
that behaviour.
Better refdes incrementation can come post 5.1, as this will need
new strings and UI.

The original item is part of the array, so give it a number
and put it in the right place (all current array tools have
a null transform for the first item, but it's not part of the
contract. For example, a circular array with an angle offset
might want to move the first point).
The current module cannot be queried for existing pads as we
add them (because we never commit, until we finish the whole array).
Instead, pre-gather the names and check as we add, skipping any existing
names.
Note: this will not prevent arrays becoming "mis-ordered", but there
is not a lot we can do to prevent all possible errors.

The same principle could be used to skip existing ref-des'es on PCBs.
The geometry and numbering logic is separate to the dialog, and
can be separated for clearer logic and better testability.
Moreover, refactor it to avoid any dependency on pcbnew
classes, so it can be move to common for potential re-use in
eeschema and friends in future.
Also convert all wxPoint logic in these classes to VECTOR2I and
fix some function visibilities.
Add some unit tests of the ARRAY_OPTIONS geometry and numbering.
Devolve the logic as to whether a pad should be numbered or not
to a pad utility function. Add a very simplistic test for this
function (demonstrating how to test BOARD_ITEMs in general).
