The hash table for integer hashes is extremely limited and places most
elements in the same buckets. This leads to a linear search time for
structures built on this.
This blocks hashes, directing the coder to utilize std::set or std::map
structures instead of hash tables for implementing integer-based
lookups.
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.

Thread pools are long-lasting executors that have close to zero overhead
when launching new jobs. This is advantageous over creating new threads
as we can use this for threading smalling jobs and smaller quanta. It
also avoids the heuristics needed to determine the optimal number of
threads to spawn
Threaded DRC access will write to this string, re-allocating the memory
without any synchronization between threads using the string. Comment
adding this listed performance as a reason for using shared strings.
Measured performance does not seem noticeably different in either case,
even with high-error count boards. If there is a case where the
performance is limiting, we can replace these wxStrings with
std::wstring and utilize fmt

ADDED zone_connection constraint.
ADDED thermal_relief_gap and thermal_spoke_width constraints.
ADDED angle override for thermal relief spokes in Pad Properties.

Improves implicit rule reporting.
Makes some internal names more consistent.
Moves DRC_REPORT to the test framework.
Removes priority (which isn't supported in the grammar)
Also processes constraints in correct order for priority (reversed)
and removes multiple-expression-conditions for a single constraint
(which is not supported in the grammar).
