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.
This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* No initial copied object changed (this was a serious bug to modify these objects. Previous version modified references and other texts using a very stupid algorithm).
It also fixes bug 1549231
* only new pads are numbered (therefore renumbering is used only in footprint editor)
* remove not working and useless feature in circular array: now only use number for pads (others options using alphabetical letters are removed: did not work corectly, and were useless)
* a more clear option is used to choose if the pads are numbered from a choosen value, or from the first avaible value
* Adding a warning messsage if a parameter is incorrect.
* Clean up formatting and make OK button the default in the array dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the move exact dialog.
* Change the directory picker control from wxGenericDirCtrl to wxDirPickerCtrl so the native
directory picker dialog is used to select the directory in the select pretty library path dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the select pretty library path dialog.
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
