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.

Some actions, such as select trivial connection, don't need the
user to choose which trace at a corner to start from -- either
one will do. Same for moving a simple trace corner.
Likewise, Edit in Footprint Editor shouldn't ask if you mean the
footprint or the pad. Obviously it's the footprint.
This change adds a CLIENT_SELECTION_FILTER which allows clients
to do tool- or action-specific filtering of the selection before
the disambiguation menu is run.
It also removes some tool- and action-specific code which was
in the selection_tool and shouldn't have been.

Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

If the object changes between a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_UPDATE
event and a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_CHOICE event (usually as
a result of a cancel), the old code would leave the
last item hidden.

Opening Properties dialog normally does not ask the user to confirm the
action, even for locked items. The exception was a case when there was
nothing selected and Properties dialog was invoked via its hot key -
then SELECTION_TOOL::RequestSelection() tried to get the item under the
cursor, verifying the lock flag.

- renamed connectivity.[h|cpp] to connectivity_data [.h|.cpp] so that the file name matches the main class name.
- GetNetItems() now returns a vector instead of a list
- fixed netcode propagation bug
- factored out EDIT_TOOL::m_offset, now selection offset is stored in SELECTION class
- added VECTOR2I-based Move/Flip/Rotate methods in BOARD_ITEM
-Can paste items from board to module-editor (only module parts)
-Can paste entire modules just as copy
-Can copy items inside module-editor
Known limitations:
-Will crash if trying to paste a module containing module_text inside
the module editor ( dont know why, problem existed before )
-If copying things with strange layer names, the layer names will be
changed.
Now the heirarchical sheet selection feature includes tracks that belong
to a net spanning multiple sheets, but only by doing a logical connection
from the pads of the modules. This is to be able to select connections
between components on the same sheet. For example if the sheet contains a
star power connection or something similar, then most of the sheet local
connections will now also be included.
- added TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions()
- made protected and moved TOOL_BASE::setTransitions() to TOOL_INTERACTIVE
- TOOL_MANAGER calls TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions() instead of
setTransitions()
In the previous version the method did not work correctly
when an action was invoked from context menu. In such case,
the cursor position was obtained in the moment of selecting
the action, instead of using the right click location.
This patch adds a radiobox to allow the user to select a reference point for
the move. The additional options are: User Origin (set with <space>),
Grid Origin and Sheet Origin (effectively making it an absolute coordinate).
A checkbox is added (where it makes sense) to allow overriding which point
within the component is put on top of the designated coordinate.

This simplifies the (already simple) SELECTION_AREA class. It is also
moved into KIGFX::PREVIEW and put in the common library, where it can be
reused by other GAL-aware tools (not just in Pcbnew) in future.
- The tools can now specify if the items in the selection must be editable/
deletable. This is groundwork to be able to select/delete DRC markers, which can't
otherwise be edited.
- Fixed disappearing of selected objects
Adds a similar crossprobe as modules has in pcbnew. When clicking a
sheet in eeschema, the items that are exclusive in that scheet will be
selected in pcbnew if using the GAL canvas.
SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
Some grid/zoom tools are left in PCBNEW_CONTROL because they currently
depend on Pcbnew-specific class members. Once refactoring is done to
make it possible to use all zoom and grid controls outside of pcbnew,
these last tools can be moved to common to match their ACTIONs.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
Modifies the selection menu to be adaptive and disable selection options
that are not possible.
Adds a new selection option that is only available when selecting
modules, this tool will select all footprints on the same sheet level or
belonging to subsheets. It will also search for nets that are only
connecting between modules on the same sheet or lower and select every
segment and via belonging to it.
The previous behaviour was to act on only the first item in the
selection. The new behaviour is to act on every eligible item (in this
case, tracks and vias).
