3x Selection-Based Routing Tools. Takes a selection of routable objects
and routes them one at a time individually, with an attempted finish, or
from the other end, depending on the action given.
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.

This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

It is too easy to accidentally hide your zones and the 'A' hotkey is
intuitively mapped to Add Footprint, to match Add Symbol in eeschema.
This won't change current hotkey customizations but will help prevent
future user error. Users can still map the action to a hotkey if the
new toggle is useful to their workflow
(cherry picked from commit 4d899d7820)
Added hotkey for cycling through net & netclass color modes.
Added hotkey for cycling through ratsnest layer visibilities.
Added code to display hotkey (if set) on the above and on high-contrast
cycle.

This requires enabling the space key to be bound with shift, which was
disabled based on an overbroad limit of only allowing shift to be mapped
with letter keys
This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.
