This also removes vector cover types which do nothing except obfuscate
the underlying implementation.
Mainly changes SCH_SHEET_PINS and CONFIG_PARAM_ARRAY (which will soon
be replaced by Jon's new stuff).
Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
Pads not on copper layers now do not have a netname, and are no longer taken in account in connectivity.
Especially it avoid creating useless rats-nests for these pads.
When generating a complex pad, this allows the user to combine with a
rotated pad and explode rotated pads without needing to rotate elements
to 0 orientation first.

This removes the remaining hard-coded segments counts and replaces them
with the relative error calculation where the segments per arc is
determined by the maximum error we allow (smaller arcs = fewer segments)
Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
When adding an element to a module, we don't need to update the relative
coordinates. Doing so can cause changes when writing to file depending
on rotation and position.

When designing pads, it can be helpful to not only see the resulting
rounded rectangle radius from a given percentage but also to set it,
constraining the related percentage. This adjusts the dialog to allow
editing the rounded rectangle corner radius. It does not change the
file format as the resulting ratio is saved. Further updates of the pad
size or ratio will modify the radius.

Well, almost anyway. We can't use a pad attribute for them as
that would change the file format. So they're currently
defined as a CONN pad with no copper layers.
However, when figuring out of existing pads should be *treated*
as aperture pads, we just check for no copper layers.

... and GetMsgPanelInfo.
Step 4 in the g_UserUnit eradication effort.
Also removes a couple of conversion routines that were close
enough to extinction.
(cherry picked from commit c75da51)
- pad names are stored as wxString instead of a char[4] & integer union
- removed pad name to string conversion functions
- fixed pad & pin properties dialog restrictions regarding the name
length
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
