- fix duplicate code and a few bugs (some are due to changes in code over the years)
- ADDED: option to export tracks and vias on external layers Exporting tracks is *very* time consuming,
and need a bit of optimization.
hole_to_hole clearance should account for all holes in the board.
Previously, we had excluded non through holes from this test but that
omits via holes that can still foul a future drill hit.
Designers wanting the old behavior can explicitly set the hole_to_hole
clearance to 0mm for specific ViaType pairs
A dielectric layer (between 2 copper layers) can be made by more than one
layer (composite dielectric). Not frequent, but possible.
sub-layers where previously ignored.
Old PLOTTER::Text is not (yet) removed, but it use negative text size
to mirrored text, which is not really compatible with some plotters (especially PDF).
Using TEXT_ATTRIBUTES is much easy and much better,
so PLOTTER::PlotText() is added.
Note: "old" PLOTTER::Text() is not removed yet.
Footprints now modify their parent container when destroyed due to
26542796, and a temporary footprint is created during DRC
in some situations. This can lead to board caches being messed
with during DRC which can cause unpredictable bad effects due to
multithreading.

We report bitmaps as being 'on' a copper layer because they are
associated with it but they are not actually physical parts so should
not be included in the DRC checks
Additionally, Bitmaps effective shape starts are the top left corner
rather than the center (unclear why that was there in the first place)

We need a more advanced dirtying system for this to work out for
many users, it turns out. Right now too many changes cause full
zone refills which interrupt workflow.
Rounded line ends when deflating leads to microscopic jags in the
outline that are not visible but add substantial computation time and
minor error when computing polygon offsets.
Instead, the chamfer deflate method prevents these jagged lines by
clipping angles < 90° by the error level. This does not impact deflate
calls where we explicitly require the angles to be maintained
The link maps were actually disabled by default before
912f1d5cec, and required KICAD_MAKE_LINK_MAPS
to be provided to enable them. So switch back to disabling them by
default.
Also, The lld linker is unable to accept a single dash cref option, while
ld and gold can. Instead, use the double dash version that is supported
by all three.
