We auto-size them in the code and doing both produces nothing but a
mess.
Also improves the auto-sizing for the layers drop-down (particularly
needed for the new, somewhat longer, layer names.

Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.

This change is mainly due to the fact Modal dialogs do not work when our
current tool is the tool used to create new item (text, zone, graphic).
If when this tool is active, one try to edit the properties of the new item
being created (or being placed) the modal dialog does not capture the event tool
and hangs (cannot be dismissed)
Our quasi modal dialogs have their own event loop and work.

For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
Keep Through Hole pads on external layers should be ON by default, because
such a pad does not allow soldering/unsoldering, if this option this option is OFF
Also rename dialog_enum_pads.fbp as dialog_enum_pads_base.fbp, as usual
You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).

CHANGED footprint positions files -> component placement files.
Not all footprints get placed, so component is a more neutral word.
Use of "placement" instead of "positions" removes the double-plural
that makes footprint positions files such a mouth-full.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7097
Also removes the "tip" icon which doesn't work on OSX and isn't as
important as the graphics which actually convey information. Replaced
with the more generic "Note: " string.

including wx.h is useless for this file, and include wx.h in a lot of other files.
Include wx.h must be made only when needed in a given file, because on Windows
it include some headers that frequently create collision with kicad declarations
Also fixes some latent bugs with not updating the local ratsnest
visibility in other places, and the netcode in update PCB from schematic.

ADDED a new pin electrical type "free" for internally unconnected pins.
CHANGED the "unconnected" pin electrical type is now represented by
"no_connect" in files and netlists. (The legacy syntax is also accepted
in files.)
It's no longer used for dimensions so doesn't need the line thickness
controls.
The spacing was a bit wonky.
Changed to disabling rather than hiding visibility checkbox. The less
the GUI moves around the better.
Before this, "Searching..." prompt will not go away if nothing was found
in a search session. A bug I noticed while working on !611. After this
fix, "foo not found" will be displayed when Pcbnew cannot find the
given text.
(Surprisingly we used to in 5.1, so this is a regression.)
Also had to go back to the nag dialog as on a small screen the infobar
comes up behind the dialog. A lot of the errors have also been turned
into warnings, so the overall effect should still be to reduce nagging.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6992
These dialogs don't have growable features but do have conditional
features, so the size is better adjusted automatically by the code
then by the user.
- The default value is 0.01 mm (according to comments and similar to the 3D viewer
settings that uses 0.02 mm)
- The export dialog has now 3 values 1 micron, 0.01mm (default) and 0.1 mm
The 0.1 micron option is removed: it makes no sense for a mechanical tolerance.
Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
When editing a new footprint from the board editor, if the Footprint editor has the pad editor
open, there is a risk of crash when replacing the footprint in edit.
Fixes#6892https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6892
Prevents line splitting behavior needed in v5 when drawing polygons on
courtyards. Also provide property dialog with some smarts to handle
special layers
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6900
Also improves the pad warning and error messages, and moves a few
remaining nags from the setting infrastructure to the warning
infrastructure.
