- ensure the 'chamfer' radius and clearance is rounded before computing the actual hull vertices
- for small, non-45 degree line segments (present in many boards), generate a slightly larger but still axis-aligned 45 degree hull instead of following exactly the segment direction
This is likely an old workaround to numerical precision issues
in the DRC system that no longer exist. Removing this is necessary
for "exact" hull generation to produce walkaround results that
look nice (paths falling exactly on the grid lines)

(cherry picked from commit 5d4e2aa595)
When we generate hulls, by default we subtract the clearance epsilon
to prevent false collisions in the router that wouldn't be flagged
by DRC. However, we need to use the actual hull with no epsilon
when generating hulls for pathfinding in the walkaround system.
Without this change, it is possible for the walkaround to generate
a valid-seeming path that results in a DRC violation, for example
when dragging a drag against a board edge.

(cherry picked from commit 2a91ba35c1)
L-clicks during routing operation while the mouse is moving (even slightly) were ignored, which was annoying to some users (myself included). Now the router
always fixes the track upon mouse click.
The shove algorithm can't move the loose track ends. It always needs a via. In case of wide segments stitched with
a small via, the collision search finds only colliding segments and does not consider the via. This leads to frequent shove falilures
or 'choppy' behaviour when the head line only slightly overlaps with an end of a thick trace. This patch attempts at improving this behaviour
by considering the 'tiny via in wide segment' case explicitly.
According to the PCAD specification, all tags are case insensitive.
Most exporters honor the defaults but there is always an outlier or two

No longer used by modern PCB processes.
Only the code to add the target to the board has been removed. Parsing
code for existing designs with targets is left in place.
