Some microwave inductor lengths cause invalid outputs
for the calculations, which causes jagged outputs.
* If the request length is such that four arcs and no straight
segments is too long
* If the length is such that an N-turn coil is too short, but
an N+1-turn coil is too long. This can happen when the coil
count is small.
This patch doesn't fix the underlying geometric issue here - fixing
the first requires a numerical method, and fixing the second probably
needs an iterative approach. Both of these could benefit from
a refactor.
However, this patch does prevent the tools producing invalid outputs,
which can sometimes be quite subtle mistakes if the "jags" are small.

Phoenix doesn't have the same initialization as wxpython3 and so the
namespace doesn't get the wxApp() initialized to the existing instance.
In python, this is worked around by starting a new wxApp.
Unfortunately, this appears to overwrite the existing global instance
variable. The issue _appears_ to be in Phoenix but for now we work
around it by saving and resetting the instance pointer in the main app.
The downside is that Python likely won't be able to respond to events
from C++

This adds a simple unit test to qa_common to check coroutines
produce expected events in the right order.
This is an automated analogue to the user-facing tool in
qa/common_tools.
This program has been disabled for some time, but it's not
broken (even if the CMake was!).
Merging into the pcbnew_tools QA program reduces the CMake burden
and puts this tool in the same place as the others.
In the past, the ZONE_CONTAINER::GetPosition() member
returned a reference to a wxPoint, in accordance with the
BOARD_ITEM interface. This meant that ZONE_CONTAINER had
to reinterpret_cast a VECTOR2I (its internal position data) to wxPoint,
which was possible only due to fortunate memory layout.
This interface was changed to return wxPoints by value in
commit a4528988ca, and the normal (wxPoint) cast was used instead.
Thus, we can now also remove the dire warnings and static_asserts
used to ensure the now-unused old method was correct.
This means all the current Pcbnew utilities are all in a single
executable.
The tool is now run by:
$ qa/pcbnew_tools/qa_pcbnew_tools pcb_parser <same arguments as before>
Add a tool that allows a user to run DRC functions
on a given KiCad PCB file.
The first available functions are the courtyard functions.
Also move most of the utility program logic into qa_util for
better reusability.
Introduce the concept of a DRC_PROVIDER which allows
to separate the various DRC functions to their own
areas. This allows, amongst other things, a slimmer core
DRC class, and allows DRC functions to be separately testable.
The courtyard DRCs (overlap, missing and malformed)
are the first victims, so instrumentation can be added to this function.
Add some unit tests on this DRC function, as well a few re-usable PCB-based
utility functions in a library (qa_pcbnew_utils) that could be shared between
unit tests and other utilities.
This separates the "newMarker" functions from the DRC class. These
are moved to a new class, DRC_MARKER_FACTORY, which is now responsible for
constructing suitable markers from BOARD_ITEMS.
The reasons for this are:
1) Allow DRC related functions to access theese functions without having
to bake these functions into the main DRC class.
2) Thereby simplify the DRC class interface
3) As DRC_MARKER is now a small class with public interfaces, it's
possible to put unit tests on these functions.
The motivation here is to allow to start to split out pieces of DRC
into separate classes.
Prior to placing the via, we check if the resulting via will pass too
close to different nets on different layers.

Previously, when the 3D viewer is opened, each board edition creates a 3D view refresh, that usually takes a bit of time.
Now the refresh is postponed until the 3D viewer has the focus.
When creating the zone cutout, we delete the old zone and add a new one
with each cutout. This requires resetting the source zone and clearing
our previous selection if we would like to continue using the cutout
tool on the new zone.

Plotting mask layers, we expand by a minimum width before performing a
boolean add of the separate regions. The boolean add has a separation
condition that includes equality. Since we are looking for the
complement of the mask, we would like the equality applied to the other
side. Removing a unit value provides the separation.

When loading an existing file, a missing value in the soldermask min

When prompting for a new footprint library, we need to treat the input

The intention here is to make it possible to wrap up many of the
KiCad utility tools into a single executable. This reduces link times
as well as the duplication of CMake files needed to build very
similar tools.
This particular tool should be suitable for any code in common,
code in pcbnew and other end-executables probalby will need an
analagous version linked to the relevant kiface.
The first tool is the coroutine_example.cpp test case, which
can be useful when learning, debugging or porting the coroutine
infrastructure.

NEW: By default a clipboard is pasted to a grid starting from the
cursor position and doesn't matter is a selection of cells present or
not. Often a grid represents the data of a few similar objects like
components, for example. Some number of cells (fields) may have the same
value for a few rows (components). In this case, when filling data we
must copy the range of identical cells from the first row of similar
components and then paste it to every row of the rest components (by
default). From now it may be done easier. We must copy the range of
identical cells from first row of similar components (here is no
changes) and then select rectangular range of cells (for multiple rows)
where must be placed copied data. After pasting copied cells will be
pasted to every selected row.
So in general, we can copy cells from one row and paste it to multiple
rows at a time.
This new feature also makes possible to copy value from one cell and to
paste it to all from the selection.
If copied range of cells is larger than the selection then only the part
of clipboard that matches the selection will be pasted.
CHANGED: By default dialog closes on Esc key immediately and if dialog
has a grid control there is no way to close a cell editor with canceling
changes. New behavior is next: if dialog has a grid and the grid has an
active cell editor Esc key closes cell editor, otherwise Esc key closes
the dialog.
CHANGED: On pasting multiple rows from a clipboard to the end of a
grid, the grid is automatically expanding (appended needed number of
rows). In general case the grid expanding on pasting is inappropriate.
Rows must be added by tools like a button or a menu command etc. In some
cases rows cannot be added at all. So we must paste only the part of
the clipboard that fits between the cursor position and the end of the
grid without a grid extending.
CHANGED: First click sets a cursor to the specified cell, second click
activates editor (current realization, where first click activates cell
editor, is very buggy especially with cells selection).
Set cursor on cell of reference on mouse left click in Fields editor of
Eeschema.
On clicking a reference cell in the field editor of Eeschema a
corresponding component is highlighted in Eeschema. But previously
highlighted components are staying highlighted.
With current patch all highlightings are cleared before highlighting
selected component.

When removing steiner points, there is the possibility that the test
point is also removed. In this case, it is no longer a member of the

This issue created memory leak and not working wxComboboxes (for instance after modifying the language selection).
Now, these wxComboboxes are created only once, never recreated.
Also: minor cosmetic enhancement in footprint editor main toolbar
(the save footprint icon is modified if the footprint is saved to the board or to the library)
- Added ignore netcode option to CONNECTIVITY_DATA::GetConnectedItems()
- PlaceModule() now ensures the module added to the board (and thus to the connectivity database) has correct bounding box necessary for R-trees to work
- Use recursive connected pad search so that the new net is propagated to all pads
