The Wait() function will return a null TOOL_EVENT when the tool
stack is shutting down, so we can't just always pass the event,
instead we must check for null and end the looping if a null
event appears.
It's only needed in PlaceModule() and creates problems here. Also
adds a comment regarding the encapsulation leak that makes all this

Also simplifies groups so that other areas of code that have to know
about them at least don't have to know as much. One of the simplifications
is to not worry so much about empty groups until save time; others are in
the access logic to parent groups.
Also simplifies user model slightly by removing Merge and Flatten
(which are just ungroup/group and ungroup/ungroup/.../group).
Also allows multiple groups to have the same name. This is useful when
using groups for a classification system.

This time remove the push/pop from the picker tools as that's

The last remaining threaded operation in dynamic ratsnest was the
recalculation of the dynamic connectivity map. Because we do not
require any of the extra features of the connectivity map, we can get
away with a lightweight move of the anchors to update the ratsnest. The
resulting connectivity tree is not valid but it is not needed for the
ratsnest, which only needs a list of nets/anchors.

Now that the tool framework gracefully shutdowns the tools, graphics

This reverts commit f6881ce3de.
An instance of STATUS_TEXT_POPUP was created on the stack.
But it crashes pcbnew when closing the current main frame,
perhaps due to stack switching in coroutines.
It is now created on the heap.
Default out-of-the-box is no hotkey. Removed all the preference stuff.
Note that the new implementation is a little different: the old one only
operated on a selection with a single item where the new one operates on
all selected items. So if you want the whole track do a 'U' before the 'W'
(or whatever you have Change Track Width assigned to).

large move speeds substantially
This is the behavior of previous 5.1 version.
Using the bounding box has advantages, but unfortunately in many cases the footprint position is moved.
If a lot of flip commands are made on the same footprint, it is moved far from its initial position.

The Get and place tool used to live in selection tool and could activate
the edit tool by stacking calls. Now that it is itself in the edit
tool, we cannot stack another call to the edit tool that runs
immediately, instead we allow the GetAndPlace to finish before beginning
the next tool (Move)
The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%
sure it will break something, I just haven’t a clue what.

Because the pickers are called with an Activate()/Wait() pair, any
usurping tool gets in between the picker handling the cancel (due

Includes the addition of an onSetCursor() handler which must be called
from both the GAL canvas AND the GAL backend (at least on OSX) to prevent
cursor flickering between (for instance) pencil and arrow.
Also includes new architecture for point editors which allows them to
coordiate cursors with the editing tools (so we can switch to an arrow
when over a point).
We were running into various corner conditions where a tool's event
loop would exit while the tool was still active, or the tool would
get popped while we were still in the event loop. (A lot of these
had to do with the POINT_EDITOR's, but not all of them.)
The new architecture:
1) tools always do a Push()/Pop()
2) everyone is responsible for their own pops; no more stack-clearing
on a cancel
3) CancelInteractive events go to all tools to facilitate (2)
This checks the movement against a maximum value that would place the
selection outside of the valid area for the footprint or board.

We had been deselecting items after calling edits to be safe in case the
item was deleted/exchanged by the edit. The item pointer itself remains
valid even when deleting as it is assigned to the undo stack. But it
should not remain visible or selected on the schematic if it is removed.
This tests for removed items by checking whether it (in the case of
first-level BOARD_ITEMS) or its parent (in the case of footprint item
components) remain in the view list after editing. If they are still in
the view list, then we re-select them.

When changing elements in the module editor, each element shares the

The general idea is to support user-units inheritance. The
UNIT_BINDER allows wrapped controls to inherit units from their
parent dialog, while KEYWAY_HOLDER and DIALOG_SHIM allow child
KEYWAY_HOLDERs or DIALOG_SHIMs to inherit units from their
parent.
The GetUserUnits() method signature has to move to KEYWAY_HOLDER
rather than KEYWAY_PLAYER (where it makes more sense) as it’s the
only common ancestor of KEYWAY_PLAYER and DIALOG_SHIM.
As long as we'll be using the UNIT_BINDER more widely, it also
makes sense to move evaluation and validation into it.
This commit also provides eeschema’s DIALOG_LABEL_EDITOR and
pcbnew’s DIALOG_TRACK_VIA_PROPERTIES and DIALOG_SET_GRID as
models of how to use the new user-units inheritance, eval, and
validation.
