This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

1) Generate SHAPE_POLY_SET triangulation by outline so they can be
shared between connectivity system and other clients.
2) Don't add items to connectivity when reading board; we're going
to do a total rebuild anyway.
3) Use multithreading when caching triangulation.
If we wanted to put it into the parent's undo item, then the *parent*
would need to not start a new undo record. Not starting one in the
zone filler tries to add it to the *previous* change, not to the parent
change.

Push the mutex down into the ZONE::Fill() routine and set the
connectivity update to run after zone fills. The connectivity update
cannot run while the mutex is locked for zone fills.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9993
Two issues found with the locking system used to prevent access to
stale connectivity data during the zone fill process:
1) a std::mutex has undefined behavior if you try to use it to guard
against access from the same thread. Because of the use of wx event
loops (and coroutines) it is entirely possible, and in some situations
inevitable, that the same thread will try to redraw the ratsnest in the
middle of zone refilling.
2) The mutex was only guarding the ZONE_FILLER::Fill method, but the callers
of that method also do connectivity updates as part of the COMMIT::Push.
Redrawing the ratsnest after the Fill but before the Push will result in
stale connectivity pointers to zone filled areas.
Fixed (1) by switching to a trivial spinlock implementation. Spinlocks would
generally not be desirable if the contention for the connectivity data crossed
thread boundaries, but at the moment I believe it's guaranteed that the reads
and writes to connectivity that are guarded by this lock happen from the main
UI thread. The writes are also quite rare compared to reads, and reads are
generally fast, so I'm not really worried about the UI thread spinning for any
real amount of time.
Fixed (2) by moving the locking location up to the call sites of
ZONE_FILLER::Fill.
This issue was quite difficult to reproduce, but I found a fairly reliable way:
It only happens (for me) on Windows, MSYS2 build, with wxWidgets 3.0
It also only happens if I restrict PcbNew to use 2 CPU cores.
With those conditions, I can reproduce the issue described in #6471 by
repeatedly editing a zone properties and changing its net. The crash is
especially easy to trigger if you press some keys (such as 'e' for edit)
while the progress dialog is displayed. It's easiest to do this in a debug
build as the slower KiCad is running, the bigger the window is to trigger this
bug.

Many, many KIDIALOGs use OK/Cancel and then rename both buttons to
confirm or deny some action. In those cases we *do* want to store
the deny actions if they check "Do Not Show Again".
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6979
1) better load-balancing for deferred zones
2) sort zones by priority before filling
3) retire BOARD::GetZoneList() which had a horrible performance profile
4) implement a zone bounding box cache
5) better checks for IsCancelled() so long fills can be exited

This unifies the zone refill across architecture into the tool-based
architecture. Also provides ZONE_FILLER-based progress managment for
tools.

It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

Frame refresh in wxWidgets sets the focus back to indeterminate state
and prevents hotkey action until the focus is captured again. Using
canvas update is the correct method to update the canvas display after
modifying zones/similar

SEGZONEs are no longer created by pcbnew but may exist in older boards.
This allows deleting the old fills in a manner similar to the deletion
in Legacy canvas.

This is a boyscouting commit to standardize the threading of zone fills.
We do not need to join threads after their completion, instead we simply
allow them to clean up their memory without blocking the user. This
also sets the maximum number of threads that may be created to the
number of zones being filled. More than this will only leave un-used
threads being created and immediately killed.
We also include the connectivity search as a phase in the fill progress
reporter. This was the case before but did not utilize the correct
maxsize, leading to stalled progress bar.
