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

The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
Devolve the logic as to whether a pad should be numbered or not
to a pad utility function. Add a very simplistic test for this
function (demonstrating how to test BOARD_ITEMs in general).

It is very difficult to select 0-width lines and they aren't physical on
the board. Items with this setting in Eagle should revert to the
default in KiCad.

Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to
sub-pixel mode. This bumps the minimum version of Cairo to 1.12
(available in 14.04 LTS as well as mingw) to support three antialias
settings (fast, good, best) that offer speed/appearance tradeoffs.
This can provide a higher-quality eeschema render as it works on a
per-element basis as opposed to the OpenGL per-screen antialias.
Currently, GAL is initialised to NONE (i.e. off). This causes
issues when Legacy canvas is broken (i.e. GTK3).
This changes the default to GAL Cairo, both in PCB_EDIT_FRAME
init, and in the config load.
Now, when the user starts with no config, they are prompted for
a choice: OpenGL or Cairo, and one of them will be set up, with
Cairo as fall back.
Users on platforms that still support legacy can go to it as normal
from the menu, but it will not be the default in any circumstance.

Where we can get away with lower segment counts (localizing an anchor),
we keep the low-def 16 segment count. Intermediate values and values
that are visible to the user are set to high definition. Most are
simply hints to the inflation correction but where they show, the user
show see smooth lines.
Most rounding operations have been shifted to an absolute error
calculation and the ability to adjust zone segment counts has been
removed in 5.1. The remaining elements that use fixed segment counts
are either 18 (DRC) or 32 (plotting). This aligns the punchout segment
count with the higher (32) definition value
wxChoice centers the selection on GTK. So when switching from a
mid-list item to an item at the top, the list is always cut off for
choice lists located on the top toolbar. Using a combobox provides a
drop-down that allows easier access to all elements in the box.

The hotkey name "Help (this window)" does not describe what the hotkey
and associated action does. It displays the current hotkey list, so the
action name should reflect that behavior
Moving pcbnew error strings that may be seen by the user to translated
strings. Strings that denote unexpected cases are moved to debug logs
as they are essentially asserts that should never be shown. The
exceptions are the messages shown when files are loaded. All unknown
items should show an error here.
Checks for ratsnest enabled prior to calculating and displaying the
local/dynamic ratsnest. Calls the ratsnest clear from selection clear
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.

This make the use of legacy canvas on GTK3 a default-off
advanced config. Legacy is substantially broken on GTK3
and is of basically no use at all to general users on this
platform.
If the program starts with legacy canvas in the config,
it is forced into a GAL mode, as otherwise it could happen
that the user is stuck and unable to get into pcbnew to change
the setting.

While not technically allowed, overlapping polygons can be drawn in
pcbnew. Gerber polygons are strictly simple, however, so we need to
fracture prior to exporting to avoid invalid gerbers.
Rather than depend on proper unlocking for each exit, we move the
connectivity lock mutex into an RAII-type configuration that
automatically unlocks on exit.
Layer bit sets get chosen for the layer name, starting with the copper
layers and then the technicals. Additionally, multi-layer pads are
appended with an indicator that additional layer bits are set.

When importing footprints, some are generated with non-standard (e.g.
"mod") extensions. As a last option, we allow the * wildcard to select
these files for import.
Use TesselatePolygon() to draw polygons in Gerbview instead of GLU tesselation, much slower.
Add helper methods in GAL to know if the current GAL engine is Cairo, OpenGL or something else,
useful to optimize drawing code.
