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.
IsPolygonFilled() replaces the hard coded comparisob with Edge_Cut in code.
For now the polygon is not filled only on Edge_Cut layer.
But in the future, it could be an option for other layers.
Commit 1858b7dca corrected the handling of polygons on the edge cut
layer for board items. This adjusts for the possibility of polygons
in modules on the edge cut layer by applying the module offset/rotation
to the polygon elements.
Like circles, polygons are self-closed elements that define an outline.
This allows them to be used as such for board outlines and cutouts.

Colors are assigned to virtual layers while the ToLayer_ID returns a
physical layer enum. The GetLayerColor/SetLayerColor take LAYER_NUM
(int) values that can be larger than the physical layer count.
We were trying to handle aOnlyOneFile at two different levels
which was preventing the Silk layer from going through the
right routine (and preventing board outlines from getting
drawn if selected).
We were also overwriting the references color local variable
before using it, meaning the reference was always rendered in
the value's color.

Rename GetPolyPoint() to BuildPolyPointsList(), because GetPolyPoint() looks like an accessor, but it is not an accessor.
(Using it as accessor can creates a *very long calculation time* for very basic access to polygon vertices)

- support for background color setting
- removed several global config settings (such as g_Drc_On)
- wrapped most of global config settings in PCB_GENERAL_SETTINGS class
- reorganized PCB general options dialog to clearly mark which options concern only the legacy canvas
- new GAL feature for legacy users: double-click (or E) to change track width available as an option.

Removes the need of using the legacy code in polygon/PolyLine.{h,cpp},
refactoring all CPolyLine instances with SHAPE_POLY_SET instances.
The remaining legacy methods have been ported to SHAPE_POLY_SET;
mainly: Chamfer, Fillet, {,Un}Hatch.
The iteration over the polygon vertices have been simplified using the
family of ITERATOR classes.
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.
Make all EDA_TEXT data private and rename accessors to avoid function
name collisions in derived classes.
Overload EDA_TEXT's SetTextAngle() and SetEffects() in TEXTE_PCB.
Add support for preserving Reference text position, size, orientation
during a netlist import into a BOARD, as well as the one off footprint
update dialog.
This option is not yet activated because the net attributes are not yet fully fixed by Ucamco, in Gerber file format specifications.
(To activate it, see dialog_plot.cpp, line 43)
PAD_SHAPE_T and PAD_ATTR_T still have a double definition (new names and old names) to be sure python scripts are nor broken by the change.
PAD_DRILL_SHAPE_T does not have a double definition, because it is unlikely oblong holes are used in python scripts.
Double definitions will be removed in the (next) future.
* if the current select plugin is the github plugin, one can select some of these libraries and add them to the table
* if the current select plugin is the kicad plugin, one can select some of these libraries and download them to make alocal copy.
They can added to the table after they are downloaded.
- Reference is visible on silk and the corresponding assembly layer
- Reference is shown on assembly always on the component insertion point
Hidden references are not forced shown in assembly plots (there is
already a user option for that)
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
