The dynamic ratsnest is shown while moving items but this needs to be
hidden after cancelling. Previously this was handled by the
SelectionClear event but we've changed this to (correctly) keep the
previous selection when canceling.

When routing in high-contrast mode, the user may wish to place items
that are primarily on a different layer while remaining in high contrast
mode. This fixes a regression from 4.0.7

Notably, it appears that the tool actions do not chain transitions for
the same event. So only a single action (first specified) will be
executed when an event fires unless the actions are executed by separate
tools.

Instead of a nag screen for locked items, we allow first the unlocked
items to be deleted and then, with a repeated request, the locked items.
This adds a popup cursor window informing the user of the option for
repeating the delete

The client filter might add items in the case where locked pads are
filtered. We need to handle this case when requesting selection by
adding new items to the m_selection

Separate out zone edges (which are quite specific, and should
win over most other things) from zone fills (which are pretty
generic and should only be considered when there's nothing else).
Also excludes zone fills when the zones aren't being shown as
filled.
When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being
reselected after passing through the filter. This adjusts the logic to
only deselect those items that are filtered out.
If the user is carefully selecting the zone edge, we do not filter the
zone preemptively from our disambiguation list in the same manner as we
do for selecting on zone copper.

Deselection by clicking on a zone makes working with plane zones easier
by allowing the selected item to de-selected by clicking on a zone.
Once the selection is cleared, the zone may be re-selected as normal.
Clicking on non-zone items while a separate item is selected will still
select the new non-zone item without requiring a second click.
Allows selection of polygons and zones by their visible area. Will only
select polygons/filled areas when they are unobstructed by other
elements in the footprint/pcb. Also adds a "skip heuristics" modifier
key for clicking (ALT) that allows the full disambiguation list to be
displayed without removing less-likely elements. This dovetails the
zone/polygon selection as it allows selecting even when areas a fully
overlapped.

Unselecting performs two functions: unselecting and unhighlighting.
Some items may be deselected but still live in the temporary highlighted
layer (e.g. selecting a footprint and exchanging it). Since there is no
harm in unselecting an unselected item, we can allow it to proceed
without the check.
When editing the pcb, Ctrl-Click will highlight a net. This allows
de-highlight with the ESC/cancel action from the selection tool. Inside
the highlight tool, ESC reverts to the selection tool while keeping the
net highlighted.

Repeating find with the same search string would result in a not found
error for absolute search strings. Don't clear the found item if the
search string did not change from the previous search..
Fix another minor bug where the do not warp mouse pointer option was
always checked when the find dialog was called from one of the gal
canvases.

Normally working at a zoom level when a footprint is not fully displayed
indicates that the user modifies other components. Selection Tool used
to discard footprints that had area larger than the viewport area, but
it may make sense to select them if there are no other candidates.

This allows full copper connections even when THT changes a trace layer.
It avoides selecting the actual pad to prevent actions on the copper
connections from affecting the footprints as well.

Text can be included in the same selection group as the parent module.
Thus if we clear the selection marker on a module's child elements we
also need to remove the element from the selection group.
