Passing an empty path to the 3D model select dialog results in the file
select control displaying the root path which requires the user to drill
down to get to the 3D models. Use the KISYS3DMOD path as the default
and fall back to the project path as required for the initial file
select control path.
Clean up some coding policy violations.

Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
Replace all instances of "component" and "part" with "symbol" when
referring to schematic and library symbols.
Replace all instances of "component" with "footprint" when referring to
board and library footprints.
Minor dialog layout fixes to some of the dialogs impacted by the UI
string changes.
Refresh is used in the python domain to refresh the display with the current
design. If something has changed, board connectivity likely needs rebuilding.
If using GAL canvas, update its display db.
Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

A few methods differed by the number or type of arguments in derived
classes. They were changed to match the base class method signature and
marked as 'override'.
Module placer did not mark the newly placed modules as selected,
but all edit functions (rotate/place/etc.) rely on getting a selected
item. When a rotation/flip command was issued, the newly placed module
was dropped and the one underneath the cursor has been rotated.
To fix this the newly placed modules are marked as selected.
It also simplifies the placer code a bit.

Revert() method was still not aware of CHT_DONE flag, therefore
the switch statement was always invalid. To fix it, the commit
type is split to type and flags as is done in Push() method.
Zones: it turned out that for every zone point, the set of hatch lines
has been drawn, resulting in numerous redundant lines. Now the set is
drawn only once per zone.
Custom shape pads: as GAL supports SHAPE_POLY_SETs, there is no need to
create a temporary vector to copy there a list of points to be drawn.
Changed the drawing calls to use SHAPE_POLY_SETs directly.
Thanks to Andreas Buhr patch, code for drawing filled polygons and their
outlines has been unified. Previously it was done by changing the
drawing method (GAL::DrawPolygon() vs GAL::DrawPolyline()), now it is
done by modifying attributes (stroke/fill).
If the object changes between a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_UPDATE
event and a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_CHOICE event (usually as
a result of a cancel), the old code would leave the
last item hidden.

This target seems to only create empty makefiles, tested on linux. And I
can not find any references to it in any of the current CMakeLists. Lets
remove it.
- Reverts behaviour of 3e71ed2421
- 3D model offset now explicitly written in mm, using "offset" tag
- Any read "at" tag is converted from inches to mm
- This will not break any 3D model offset when reading files
- It will however render files incompatible with old versions
LAYER_NON_PLATED to LAYER_NON_PLATEDHOLES
LAYER_PADS_HOLES to LAYER_PADS_PLATEDHOLES
LAYER_PADS to LAYER_PADS_TH
and add comments and fix a render issue in gal mode for non plated holes.
Opening Properties dialog normally does not ask the user to confirm the
action, even for locked items. The exception was a case when there was
nothing selected and Properties dialog was invoked via its hot key -
then SELECTION_TOOL::RequestSelection() tried to get the item under the
cursor, verifying the lock flag.

This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
Added new file connectivity.i to expose CONNECTIVITY_DATA to
python. enables access to d_pads from nets.
Added typemap to board_connected_item.i. since board_connected_item
doesn't use virtual inheritance, when returning a std::list of these
items, the typemap populates the return list with the child
types. This enables python scripts to use the full interface of those
classes (pad, track, zone)
Added typeinfo.i to enable passing a list of KICAD_T values to methods
GetNetItems. This list acts as a query filter. typeinfo.i is included
from pcbnew.i right after kicad.i (instead of in board.i like the
others) typeinfo.h is already being included kicad.i so to ensure the
typemap(s) are properly applied I put them next to each other.
The two new files (typeinfo.i and connectivity.i) were added to
pcbnew's CMakeLists.txt as dependencies.
A change in commit 5731000135 caused kicad to stop allowing users
to move items like footprints, arcs and lines using anchors other
than the center point.
This was caused by the new code that stores reference points for
clipboard pasting, a call to updateModificationPoint() prevented
some old code paths from executing, which caused the selection to
snap into the cursor, always using the center anchor.
This fix moves the call within the if-cases that need it, and adds
a ClearReferencePoint call when the selection is "dropped" to allow
the user to grab the same selection again from a different anchor.

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.

Added an option to the exporter dialog allowing the user to choose
either the absolute or the auxiliary origin. Also, the ORIGIN field in
the exported file can be set to contain the information about the origin
point or set to (0, 0) for compatibility with other CAD tools.
