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.

(cherry picked from commit 518b53f78c)
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.

(cherry-picked from commit 5993b330)
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.

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.
Fixes: lp:1776942
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1776942
- fixed via bounding box calculation in TRACK::GetBoundingBox()
- moved clearance to TRACK::ViewBBox()
- modified the Selection Tool to use EDA_ITEM::GetBoundingBox() rather
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.

A perfect solution would create holes in the coverage map
for the zone edges and handles, but that's a lot more
work.

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.
Fixes: lp:1692081
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1692081
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.
