Depending on plotter type and pad type, the plotted shapes were not always the outlines,
but a outline inside the pad shape (due to legacy reasons).
In many cases the plotted shape was in fact incorrect.
(only noticeable for very small pads)
Now the actual pad outlines are plotted without modification.

CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
Only SVG can actually handle transparency, but we should at least mimic
the color value of other transparent fills by blending with a (presumed)
white paper.

Previously, coordinates were clamped to +- 60 inches. It makes no sense to
clamp them at plotter level: max cooed depends on the editor (schematic/board...)
Rename MAX_PAGE_SIZE_MILS to MAX_PAGE_SIZE_EESCHEMA_MILS and use it only for Eeschema.

It avoid trying to calculate arc angles (start, end or arc angle) that
frequently create issues due to reverse Y axis, plot mirrored and/or
angle normalization with different criteria.
Fixes#10914https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10914
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5017
Use 4 digits in mantissa as default and when exporting SVG.
Allow 0 as line width: this is the right value to draw filled shapes with no outline thickness.
Putting 1,000s of tiny triangles on a gerber file will cause mfg fits.
Instead, we use easy outline plotting for plots and triangulation for
everything else.
Also fixes a bug where outline fonts weren't being handled for footprint
text in 3D Viewer, and a copy/paste error in stroke font handling for
both PCB and footprint text in 3D Viewer.

This one is primarily about pushing TEXT_ATTRIBUTES in to the GAL
API, but it also includes adding EDA_ANGLE signatures to some trig
routines to ease integration.
Also converts HPGL line types to fixed (rather than adaptive). Varying
the pattern to fit each segment is going to look bad most of the time,
but particularly when stroking arcs or circles where HPGL will try to
repeat it for each chord segment.
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
Changes a dot to be a square pixel (linewidth x linewidth). This allows
the removal of IU dependencies and ensures that a dot is always visible
on screen. Also makes sure that cairo is setting the current linewidth
during its stroke routines

Unused variables in function calls can be commented out. Unused
return variables get a new routine `ignore_unused()` that silences the
warnings with zero overhead.
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.
These aperture macros were previously used but only for chamfered round rect.
They are now also used for custom pads (previously drawn as regions).
They are also optimized, i.e. only one aperture macro is created for a given shape.
(previously, one aperture macro was created for each chamfered round rect pad.)
So now all pads are flashed.
They are used for chamfered round rect pads, and can be used for custom shaped pads.
No actual change currently, but the shape rotation of custom pads and chamfered rr pads
can be now used in gerber plots.
In some macros we are using a circle as primitive (primitive 1).
It needs 4 mandatory prms and one optional (not used by Kicad, always 0) prm.
This not used optional prm can create issues with old Gerber readers, so it is removed now.
Fixes#7047https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7047
This will later enable sorting the items for efficiency, which will then
facilitate things that would otherwise be impossibly slow (e.g.
switching pens)
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
Setting a line thickness = 0 for graphic objects (circle, rect, line) is
allowed but creates issues for circles that were plotted a non filled shapes
but having a outline thickness = 0.
