From discussion with Tom, Jeff, and Wayne, it appears as though
we all agreed that Highlight Collisions should behave like it
did in 5.1, which is to say, always just highlight collisions,
never prevent them. The Allow DRC Violations checkbox just
controls whether or not you can fix/commit the head line if it
has violations; you are not prevented from moving the head
line to violating positions in any case.
Right now, there does not seem to be much demand for a separate
"Stop at First Obstacle" mode since Walkaround basically does that
but better, but we agreed that if there is demand for it in the
future, it should be implemented as a new router mode rather than
a behavior of Highlight Collisions mode controlled by the Allow
DRC Violations checkbox.

When creating a polygon from an arc/circle, the small error due to approximation
can be now inside (when drawing/plotting the shape) or outside the circle
(when building a clearance area) like other pad shapes

Using a synthetic via here doesn't quite let us use VIA::PushoutForce
because it will use the wrong clearance, and also doesn't quite have
the logic we want. I am not familiar enough with PushoutForce to know
if its logic is a bug in other cases, so instead I just brought in the
parts of its algorithm that are needed here.
Additionally, we prevent pushing more than once from a given obstacle,
which causes walkaround to be more successful when routing diff pairs
against a large collider such as a keepout area.

I'm not sure where the magic number of "4x worst" came from, but it's
been around forever. This is extremely inefficient as it negates much
of the power of r-tree filtering in dense designs. If we really trusted
it, we could set this just to worstClearance. Keeping it above the worst
clearance by a little bit seems to provide enough of a speed improvement
to resolve the test cases I have, so I'll go with that for now.

Given a symbol U12A, some parts of the code were assuming the prefix was
'U' while others were assuming 'U12'. Further complication arose when
there were '?' in the library version.

* Switch to using org.kicad.kicad as the main app ID
* Move the appstream file to a metainfo file
* Rename all metadata files to use the reverse DNS scheme
* Add header matching to mime type files where possible
* Add a mime type for gerber job files
* Add a QA test that verifies all the linux metadata files and
run it in CI
* Update the visible names in the launcher entries to be more
consistent with the internal visible names
* Update various strings and items in the metainfo file so they
are more descriptive and easier to read
