Refresh is used in the python domain to refresh the display with the current
design. If something has changed, board connectivity likely needs rebuilding.
If using GAL canvas, update its display db.
Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

A few methods differed by the number or type of arguments in derived
classes. They were changed to match the base class method signature and
marked as 'override'.
Module placer did not mark the newly placed modules as selected,
but all edit functions (rotate/place/etc.) rely on getting a selected
item. When a rotation/flip command was issued, the newly placed module
was dropped and the one underneath the cursor has been rotated.
To fix this the newly placed modules are marked as selected.
It also simplifies the placer code a bit.

Revert() method was still not aware of CHT_DONE flag, therefore
the switch statement was always invalid. To fix it, the commit
type is split to type and flags as is done in Push() method.
Zones: it turned out that for every zone point, the set of hatch lines
has been drawn, resulting in numerous redundant lines. Now the set is
drawn only once per zone.
Custom shape pads: as GAL supports SHAPE_POLY_SETs, there is no need to
create a temporary vector to copy there a list of points to be drawn.
Changed the drawing calls to use SHAPE_POLY_SETs directly.
Thanks to Andreas Buhr patch, code for drawing filled polygons and their
outlines has been unified. Previously it was done by changing the
drawing method (GAL::DrawPolygon() vs GAL::DrawPolyline()), now it is
done by modifying attributes (stroke/fill).
If the object changes between a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_UPDATE
event and a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_CHOICE event (usually as
a result of a cancel), the old code would leave the
last item hidden.
