Each named power input pin in Eagle creates an implicit connection to a
net with the name of the pin (e.g. GND, VCC). It is also done for the
units (gates in Eagle nomenclature) that have not been instantiated in
the schematics.
To emulate this behaviour in KiCad:
- Placed components are checked for power input pins, so they will have
global net labels attached to create the described implicit connections.
- As the components are placed, the remaining units of the symbol are
checked for power inputs to see if they need to be instantiated together
with global net labels.

When multiple cut commands were issued, the cut command handler would
restart multiple times and keep running until the handler that was
invoked first finishes. As all handlers kept a selection copy, they
would try to save the deleted items to the clipboard resulting in a
crash.

This changes the IGES import parameter precision to be file-defined
instead of hard-coded in KiCad. OCE-0.18 does not handle faces with
a set of points whose approximation creates a single point.
By allowing the file to set the precision level, we leave it to the
generating program to create a file with non-degenerate faces.

Also update the rest of the symbol-chooser usage to current
specs, including examining the timestamp to see if the list
needs loading at all.

When a new footprint is created, CreateNewModule() added it to a dummy
board in the footprint editor. If a footprint was indeed created (the
action has not been aborted) then the dummy board was cleared,
destroying the just created footprint. Also, the new footprint is later
added with AddModuleToBoard() call.

Previous implementation refilled zones every time they have been
unselected. This patch adds a flag that tracks whether the
zone has been actually modified, so it will be refilled only when
necessary.

The change track posture hotkey '/' was getting interpreted as the show
hotkey list shortcut '?' on windows. This fix is temporary hack to fix
the problem which much more involved than the simple #ifdef/#endif used
to fix this issue.
Add key code tracing to help analyze key codes for future development.
If a polygon has fewer than 3 points, it is invalid. We need to
register this as failure, otherwise we save the formatting/closing
s-expr for the polygon without the actual polygon points. This breaks
the footprint and board.
Field Editor dialog calls LIB_EDIT::SetFields() that deletes the old
LIB_FIELD objects and creates new ones. If any of the old LIB_FIELD
objects had been selected before invoking the dialog, then one of the
update UI event handlers will crash trying to access the object.
