Display GALs had an incorrect world unit value set. Now the world unit
value says how many internal units are in an inch, in accord with the comments
in the GAL header. Bitmap drawing code relied on the information about DPI,
so scaling worked differently for display and print GALs.
It is possible for an async thread to simply be deferred if not
specifically set to async. In which case, until the return value is
requested, the loop may simply wait.
By decoupling from std::thread, we can avoid the wait/sleep cycle in
checking the std::atomic completion variable. The std::future variables
are immediately returning without the additional atomic check cycle.
This minimizes the thread usage, particularly during online actions such
as moving items and routing.
UpdateRatsnest: Minimized the number of atomics by utilizing future
promise. Avoided updating node-less nets. Node-less nets are common in
the dynamic ratsnest because the net vector is created from the board
nets by value but only populated with a subset. So the dynamic ratsnest
calculation always saw every net as dirty and spun up extra threads.
searchConnections: ParallelThreadCount is no longer lower bounded.
Small item counts are handled inline rather than with a separate thread.
When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being
reselected after passing through the filter. This adjusts the logic to
only deselect those items that are filtered out.
Some windows machines seem prone to sleeping for excessive times. When

TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top,Signal is now TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top
This param is not useful, and probably never correctly set by users, because is is not used by Pcbnew.
(It is used only for dsn export)
The implementation relied on the fact that PyString_AsString is returning NULL
for invalid inputs (and causing an error condition), which is then fixed by the
call to FROM_UTF8. Now, we will simply return an empty string if Py_None is
returned by a python fuction, which resemebles the old behaviour of those methods
Rather than forcing each thread to iterate over the full nets list to
find the dirty items, we collect the dirty items first before asking the
threads to address them. This prevents thread spinning. We also
amortize the cost of calculating on an 8-net per thread basis rather
than 2.
Locks protect the std::set in each item. Devolving the mutex to the
CN_ITEM allows multiple threads to make simultaneous connections to
different items where they do not conflict.
The connectivity files were unwieldy. This separates them logically
into data, algo and items where the items classes are those that hold,
surprise, surprise, the items, lists and clusters.

The board design settings file keeps our default values for various

The check against S_POLYGON was always false because we set the default

Disabling the grid should leave the snapping in place. But our disabler

therefore it should be able to snap to any other object, not just those

This also deals with a corner snap case for constraints by first

Deselection by clicking on a zone makes working with plane zones easier
by allowing the selected item to de-selected by clicking on a zone.
Once the selection is cleared, the zone may be re-selected as normal.
Clicking on non-zone items while a separate item is selected will still
select the new non-zone item without requiring a second click.
Updating connectivity should not need to iterate over the full item list
in each thread. Instead, we collect the dirty items first and then
iterate only over the dirty list.
Our connectivity data threads the ratsnest update based on the number of
nets that have changed. If we are only changing one net (the case when
routing) then making a full thread to update the net is pointless
because we wait for the thread to finish before continuing. This spins
that off to an inline lambda for single updates while still making
threads for multiple ratsnest changes.
This shows the snap indicator even when the item we are snapping to
occurs on a grid point, giving the user an indication that the point is
correctly connected.
Many items require precise, non-grid movement. Adding the ability to
flag a non-grid option will permit this behavior.

This introduces a new util function in geometry_utils which snaps a vector
to axes or 45 degree lines. This can be used whenever you want to
snap a vector to these angles, but still want it to stay on a grid.
This snapping is used for the dimension tool and the ruler tool.
This is substantially simpler for two-point tools that the method
used by the line tool, which uses DIRECTION_45.

However, when figuring out of existing pads should be *treated*
as aperture pads, we just check for no copper layers.

UI update event handler updates toolbar button state for the scripting
console, but for the associated menu item it displays an assert saying that
the menu item that cannot be checked. To avoid that, the UI update event
handler returns early if event does not come from the toolbar.
