Property is a pad info used mainly for fabrication or test.
Currently, supported properties are:
BGA property (variant of SMD pad)
Fiducial (global to the board or local to the footprint)
Test Point
Heat sink
Castellated.
And are used in Gerber files (copper layers and drill files)
Increment BOARD_FILE_VERSION to 20200104
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
Pads not on copper layers now do not have a netname, and are no longer taken in account in connectivity.
Especially it avoid creating useless rats-nests for these pads.
This places the arc approximation setting in the kicad_pcb file and uses
it for all parts of the board rendering where arcs are converted to
segments. This allows the user to customize their speed vs. accuracy
tradeoff. The default setting of maximum error of 0.005mm is acceptable
for small boards on moderate systems.
Give the user the option of cancelling a file open if there are
segment zones; otherwise they're converted to polygon fills.

This inserts a translation map in the layer names so that the old stable
files with Italian/French layer names get updated to the standard
English layer names (instead of not opening).

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
Previously, in many cases the selected zone was refilled on exit selection, even if the zone was not modified.
This is annoying, because the zone fill can be really time consuming, and cannot be called without a good reason.
Now the refilling is made only if a zone parameter is actually modified.
Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
When loading an existing file, a missing value in the soldermask min
width value should not be interpreted as a default value but rather as a
0 value. This corrects an issue introduced by 4d709d2392
Invalid graphical items that cannot be created in pcbnew may still be
created by external tools. This synchronizes the pcbnew view display
with the gerber output and 3d viewer line widths for these types of
lines. Only filled polygons are permitted 0-width lines.

This removes the existing constructors so that all parsing must
be explicit and callers are made aware that they need to think
about illegal characters, malformed ids, etc.
