Copy Kicad2Step fixes back to Kicad's file resolver.
Remove Kicad2Step's autogeneration of some variables in favour of
just reading the config file passed by Kicad verbatim.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7670
Error messsage was:
"CMake Error at utils/kicad2step/CMakeLists.txt:68 (install):
install TARGETS given no ARCHIVE DESTINATION for static library target"
Perhaps cmake version (3.10.2 on bionic) need that since on ubuntu focal (20.04) there is no error (cmake is 3.16.3 on focal). As I see cmake 3.14 add an autodetection mecanism to find the destinations.
Some code seems to think it's :alias:path while other code thinks it's
alias:path. This commit updates both the Kicad2Step resolver and the
KiCad internal resolver to be agnostic.
In 7.0 we should probably get rid of aliases entirely. But that's a
story for another day....

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
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1781
It would be ideal if it would use the s-expr
kicad_pcb.general.title_block.title by default, and then fall back to
something based on the output step file, but even just the output step
file is a far better default than the "open cascade step translator
version..." text it uses at the moment.
Similar improvements using the title_block would be future work.

FreeCAD uses gzip-based stpZ files but many programs will compress using
the archive format of PKZIP (e.g. WinZIP). This handles the archive
format, taking the first file from the archive, which by the standard
should be the STEP file

- 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.
Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
