CHANGED: Highlight net tool changed to highlight display toggle; moved to left toolbar
CHANGED: Multi-net highlight is now accessible when using the highlight net action
ADDED: Highlight Net and Clear Highlight actions to Net Tools context menu
ADDED: Default hotkey (Ctrl+`) for toggling net highlighting
The current and previous net highlight state are now stored and can be toggled
on or off with an action (no hotkey by default).
Highlight is now treated as a persistent state rather than a tool that is entered,
meaning there is no longer a special tool to enter in order to highlight nets.
Highlighting can be controlled while any other tool is active using the hotkeys
or context menu on a net object.
Tweak the icons for highlight net and layer display mode to better disambiguate them.

The log viewer tool lets you inspect all the intermediate stages of the routing algorithms. This patch:
- Adds source location tracking of the debug calls (need to use the PNS_DBG macro, sorry)
- Moves some wxLogTrace calls to DEBUG_DECORATOR::Message() so that messages can be displayed alongside the corresponding geometric shapes
- Fix walk failure if the input path starts on the hull boundary
(happens very often during tight walkaround)
- Input line can have a loop at the end now. Such condition happens when the routing
destination point lies inside the hull of a colliding primitive.
Differentiates better between the EDA_ITEM IsModified(), referring to
items themselves changing and the EDA_SCREEN IsContentModified(),
referring to whether we have made any unsaved changes.
After drawing a graphic, allow the control points to persist when
exiting the tool.
The effect of this is to make the first "Esc" press a
"return-to-select-tool" event without modifying the selection or control
points from within the drawing tools. The section "Esc" press, when in
the selection tool will clear the selection and the control points
While -our- user model is that Edge.Cuts is just for edges, it's best
not to dictate a particular model to users.
ADDED a DRC error when text (or a dimension) appears on the Edge.Cuts
layer.

Depending of Window managers, some texts were truncated.
Also avoid to write a sentence with the beginning in one widget,
and the end in another widget: it makes the sentence not translatable
called inside the board editor.
Fix also a broken behavior: the current action was not cancelled, and if it is
called during a move items (when typing the 'T' key), items were broken.
The actual bug is the fact it is called also in fp editor and footprint wizard frame,
because it is part of EDIT_TOOL action list, common to fp editor, and should not.
But a full change is much more costly than just a filter.
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
Also removes a bunch of old implementations of pad locking and
filtering which are no longer needed. (They're now handled by the
uniform locking code.)
Also removes some of the auto-promotion logic. Rotating a footprint
when a pad was selected is going to be surprising whether the pad
is locked or not.

By 'root lines' we mean the oldest traceable ancestor of each track moved by the router
(i.e. after shoving for a while, the root of each shoved line is it's latest non-shoved version).
With this we can teach the OPTIMIZER more tricks, such as the LIMIT_CORNER_COUNT constraint. It ensures
the results of the optimization will not be less cornery than the original line, reducing the feeling
of the optimizer being too intrusive.
Fixes picking the last segment instead of the last vertex to drag (when one is requested).
I didn't notice any behaviour change of the dragger wrs to arcs.
For some reason the .cxx file generated by SWIG cannot be linked if compiled
with debug options.
It creates a *lot* of not found symbols. So compile it with release mode (MSYS only)
REMOVED: Update schematic option from geographical annotation dialog due
to potential issues with incomplete and/or broken updates. Use "Update
Schematic from PCB" tool to update reference designation changes.
Forcing the footprint reference designator changes back to the schematic
without checking any other board changes in the schematic could leave the
schematic in a undefined state. The update schematic from board tool is
the correct method to sync any changes from the board.

This is a work-in-progress. It could use testing while I continue to fix
the remaining pieces.
There are some changes that will be needed for signing and notarization.
This currently relies on a Python tool I wrote (dyldstyle) to fixup
KiCad.app correctly. I would like any bundle fixing necessary to use a
built KiCad on macOS to live inside KiCad, rather than in
kicad-mac-builder or elsewhere. While I was experimenting, I found this
worked, however, and I would love to get extra hands testing.
I added a CMake argument, MACOS_EXTRA_BUNDLE_FIX_DIRS, for devs and
packagers who have extra directories they need to add to
fixup_bundle on KiCad.app.
There's an issue about differing behavior when KiCad is opened via
the command line or via Finder/launchd.
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
Fixes#5313https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5313
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.
