Standard apertures are circle, rect, oblong and polygon (regular polygonal shapes with 3 to 12 vertices)
The support of the standard aperture type polygon was missing in Gerber plotter.
The previous converter (maddy) is still available, during some time.
We therefore have the time to choose between them.
sundown is better to convert a md text, but is written to C
maddy has a few issues to convert a md text, but is written to C++
Both have no dependency.
The help file bridget_tee_formula.md can be displayed in pcb_calculator.
For Help messages, a markdown text (with some basic html tags) is often enough
and is more easy to translate than full html texts.
Previously, a 600 DPI was used to set device scale (can create minor visible rounding issues).
Using now 4800 DPI to reduce these rounding artifacts.

Copying the const pointer on large structures (filled zones) will be
very slow and memory intensive. This can cause OOM on linux and extreme
slowdowns when the save is triggered.

On complex boards, the view holds a very large vector of all objects.
The dtor will remove each one, searching for the pointer before
removing. When removing all items, this process is not needed, so we
clear the view when exiting. This also prevents lock-up when closing
the full application as KiCad waits for the dtor to finish
(non-interactively). This will cause Windows to crash and Linux to
offer an option for terminating the non-responsive application.

the old way was not compatible with the current management if board item lists.
The crash was probably due to double deletions.
Note also the management of undo command in pcbnew_action_plugins needs serious optimization.

The parenthesis depth is 2 when the polygon isn't closed. This
shouldn't happen but we have the fall-through to handle odd cases

(cherry picked from commit d862cdaa72)
Pads may include offsets that allow the user to shift the connection
point of the pad. This is captured by the pad m_Pos but not by
ShapePos(). When testing connectivity, we need to get the offset
position.
With pads, we should check available anchor points for each connection,
increasing probability of finding connection to match fill algorithm

* Move column width manipulation into the lib tree adapter
* Fix issue with GTK where if someone types too fast, the part
column gets 0 width.
