Each pad group is allowed to short nets with other pads in its group.
Legacy footprints with the "net tie" keyword hack will get a single
group auto-created with all the footprint's pads in it.
DRC and the router now allow a track to collide with copper graphic items
while entering a net-tie pad as long as the closest point in the collision
is within the pad.
DRC (and the footprint checker) now check for copper items in the
footprint shorting pads which are not in the same pad group.

Unconnected items and schematic partity violations are also now
represented by markers, so the ERC/DRC window itself needs to do
the deep-delete.

When tuning high speed traces, you may need to extract data per layer
rather than just the summary as signal speed varies based on dielectric
and trace type
Rather than measuring the total via height, measure from the entry to
exit track height to get a more accurate distance
(cherry picked from commit 57de5a6b65)
Board setup rows should be sortable when inserting new elements. They
get sorted when saving, this keeps that representation while editing

Converts dialog_image_editor to panel_image_editor. Embeds this panel in
a new properties dialog for the schematic and PCB editors that allows
editing position, layer, locked status, etc. like other items.
Removes a nanny setting that prevented the use of
blind/buried/micro-vias without a checkbox. If the designer does not
want microvias in their board, they simply do not place microvias.
Previous the cross-probing options were mixed between sending and
receiving cross-probe events. This clarifies so that all of the pcbnew
cross-probe options deal with whether the cross-probe is seen in pcbnew
and all of the eeschema options deal with seeing the event in eeschema.
Also updates the wording in the options panels to be the same where
possible and adds tooltips

If the nomenclature is unclear, we should rework the dialog rather than
adding documentation strings to a crowded dialog.
This also prevents new strings from appearing in v6

When editing a pad with circular hole the Y dimension is hidden
and Diameter is shown instead of Size X when opening the properties
of an existing pad.
Adjusted Pad shape: label to be vertically aligned to the pad shape
