After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

Board update KiWay request may now contain options in the message
payload:
- "no-annotate": do not enforce annotation
- "quiet-annotate": annotate without displaying a dialog
- "by-reference": update netlist by reference, no dialog displayed
- "by-timestamp": update netlist by timestamp, no dialog displayed
Footprint properties dialogs: add test for negative net clearance, similar to the Pad properties dialog test.
Add also a info message in dialogs, to avoid mistakes when setting the local clearances.
Track dragging forces the cursor position, which is still kept when PNS
router is launched again. It is avoided by resetting the force cursor
position option before running the event loop.
Tools preserve their state between runs, so it could happen that
activating a tool restores the state when autopanning is enabled, even
though it should not be.
Fixes a bunch of errors:
- libedit and libbrowser would zoom to bounding box but centre on canvas
- libedit, libbrowser and gerbview didn’t take the scroll bars into account
- pcbnew didn’t take scroll bars into account or apply the 10% margin
- appending a board file would re-centre, but not re-zoom

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.

Second disambiguation menu was caused by another call to
SELECTION_TOOL::RequestSelection() meant to get the list of
connected tracks. When there were only footprints under the cursor,
it asked the user again to pick an item to remove.

Smartens the cache freshness checking, and adds checksums of
constituent-directory last-mod-dates to the footprint info
list.
Also inserts the dataPtrs into the list at the same time as
the text to keep wxWidgets from measuring the width of the
text twice (yes, really). And converts the list to default-
column widths in case the wxWidgets patch is present to
greatly speed list creation (by not measuring all that text).
On my machine drops the first-load time from 4s to 2.5s and
the subsequent-load times from 2.5s to < 1s. With the
wxWidgets patch subsequent-loads become near-instantaneous.
Many had already been fixed but weren't working on Mac because
of the DIALOG_SHIM hack (now fixed). Others hadn't been updated
yet. Also includes some cleanup for elipses in buttons and
layout.

Check the footprint library path modification against the last load
time and reload the cache if the path modification time has changed
when a new file is added to the footprint library path.

Make refilling zones during DRC optional to prevent the board from being
changed by changes in the polygon filling. Default to off to prevent
changes by default.

On OpenMP single core systems only the first thread launched. It means
that only the UI updating thread was running, without the one
responsible for actual computation. It is fixed by enforcing at least
two threads.
