Allows selection of polygons and zones by their visible area. Will only
select polygons/filled areas when they are unobstructed by other
elements in the footprint/pcb. Also adds a "skip heuristics" modifier
key for clicking (ALT) that allows the full disambiguation list to be
displayed without removing less-likely elements. This dovetails the
zone/polygon selection as it allows selecting even when areas a fully
overlapped.

Unselecting performs two functions: unselecting and unhighlighting.
Some items may be deselected but still live in the temporary highlighted
layer (e.g. selecting a footprint and exchanging it). Since there is no
harm in unselecting an unselected item, we can allow it to proceed
without the check.
When editing the pcb, Ctrl-Click will highlight a net. This allows
de-highlight with the ESC/cancel action from the selection tool. Inside
the highlight tool, ESC reverts to the selection tool while keeping the
net highlighted.

Repeating find with the same search string would result in a not found
error for absolute search strings. Don't clear the found item if the
search string did not change from the previous search..
Fix another minor bug where the do not warp mouse pointer option was
always checked when the find dialog was called from one of the gal
canvases.

Normally working at a zoom level when a footprint is not fully displayed
indicates that the user modifies other components. Selection Tool used
to discard footprints that had area larger than the viewport area, but
it may make sense to select them if there are no other candidates.

This allows full copper connections even when THT changes a trace layer.
It avoides selecting the actual pad to prevent actions on the copper
connections from affecting the footprints as well.

Text can be included in the same selection group as the parent module.
Thus if we clear the selection marker on a module's child elements we
also need to remove the element from the selection group.

New algorithm more targetted and just clears the items. This
also obviates the need for the aQuietMode flags.

easiest way to get a link in the bug to the commit.

This makes zoom automatique work much better in the footprint
editor, and should improve other things which probably assumed
the bounding box included everything (such as refresh code).
Callers which still want just the module outline should call
GetFootprintRect() instead of GetBoundingBox().
Some other tools (in this case the POINT_EDITOR) aren't good
citizens and activate themselves when receiving selection
changes.

... and GetMsgPanelInfo.
Step 4 in the g_UserUnit eradication effort.
Also removes a couple of conversion routines that were close
enough to extinction.
(cherry picked from commit c75da51)
This not only reduces the number of different mechanisms, but
will also reduce (yet again) the number of Clarify Selection
pop-ups (because the CLIENT_SELECTION_FILTER runs before the
pop-up, while SanitizePads ran after it).

(cherry picked from commit e50a993)
The old item pointers (which aren't safe to keep around) were
removed in favour of opaque references (void*) which are then
compared against existing items when needed.
Also improves brightening by brightening the whole footprint
(ie: its pads, drawings, reference and value) rather than just
its target cross.

Commit 72b49acc changed behavior of MODULE::ViewBBox(),
which now includes text fields area. This caused problems
with selecting footprints with relatively large text fields.
This patch fixes this problem by using MODULE::GetBoundingBox instead.

- fixed via bounding box calculation in TRACK::GetBoundingBox()

than VIEW_ITEM::ViewBBox() to determine selection

Previously, the "Select Connection" sub-items were greyed out when the
selection contained both tracks and vias. This meant that you couldn't
access "Select Copper Connection" when the selection contained both
tracks and vias (though the keyboard shortcuts did work).
Change to use SELECTION_CONDITIONS::OnlyTypes( GENERAL_COLLECTOR::Tracks
) to allow any combination of track elements to be selected.

The SELECTION is a std::set. Numerical dereference of item n is O(n) as
the iterator is not random access. Therefore, a for loop using
numerical dereference is O(n!) and quickly slows.
We avoid this by storing items to remove separately while iterating and
then removing the items after we complete.

If you select a track with many segments (e.g. a length-tuned track) and
then select all connected items again ('U' -> 'U'), we would iterate
over all items in the selection and mark connections for each of the n
segments n separate times.
We avoid this by using the marked flag to show when the segment has
already been visited by the routine. This means that if the segment has
been checked for connections because it was connected to the previous
item, it won't be checked for connections again. However, a selection
that interleaves items from multiple connection segments will still
(potentially) be multiply checked as the BUSY flag is cleared each time
there is one not-BUSY track in the selection.
- vias were always left selected, include vias in tracks filter - as in legacy
- make text filtering work
- cleanup drawings filtering code
- hide checkbox "Include items on invisible layers" because it does not work in GAL
Commit complementary to 4f0c9b6b. In case there were multiple tracks
under the cursor, disambiguation was shown twice because
SELECTION_TOOL::selectConnection() cleared the selection and requested
it again.
Also adds Cancel context menu items for Place Footprint,
Place Target, Place Drill Origin and Place Grid Origin tools,
as well as the standard Zoom and Grid choices.
Removes the Paste context menu item from the Place Drill
and Place Grid Origin tools.
