It is possible for an async thread to simply be deferred if not
specifically set to async. In which case, until the return value is
requested, the loop may simply wait.
By decoupling from std::thread, we can avoid the wait/sleep cycle in
checking the std::atomic completion variable. The std::future variables
are immediately returning without the additional atomic check cycle.
This minimizes the thread usage, particularly during online actions such
as moving items and routing.
UpdateRatsnest: Minimized the number of atomics by utilizing future
promise. Avoided updating node-less nets. Node-less nets are common in
the dynamic ratsnest because the net vector is created from the board
nets by value but only populated with a subset. So the dynamic ratsnest
calculation always saw every net as dirty and spun up extra threads.
searchConnections: ParallelThreadCount is no longer lower bounded.
Small item counts are handled inline rather than with a separate thread.
When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being
reselected after passing through the filter. This adjusts the logic to
only deselect those items that are filtered out.
Some windows machines seem prone to sleeping for excessive times. When
called in the main thread, this may prevent the system from responding
to Windows 'Are you alive?' calls.
TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top,Signal is now TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top
This param is not useful, and probably never correctly set by users, because is is not used by Pcbnew.
(It is used only for dsn export)
The implementation relied on the fact that PyString_AsString is returning NULL
for invalid inputs (and causing an error condition), which is then fixed by the
call to FROM_UTF8. Now, we will simply return an empty string if Py_None is
returned by a python fuction, which resemebles the old behaviour of those methods
Rather than forcing each thread to iterate over the full nets list to
find the dirty items, we collect the dirty items first before asking the
threads to address them. This prevents thread spinning. We also
amortize the cost of calculating on an 8-net per thread basis rather
than 2.
Locks protect the std::set in each item. Devolving the mutex to the
CN_ITEM allows multiple threads to make simultaneous connections to
different items where they do not conflict.
The connectivity files were unwieldy. This separates them logically
into data, algo and items where the items classes are those that hold,
surprise, surprise, the items, lists and clusters.
Refactor the polygon event loop into its parent function to allow access

The board design settings file keeps our default values for various
thicknesses. We use this to replace a number of magic numbers with the
defined value to help self-document the code.
The check against S_POLYGON was always false because we set the default
type to S_SEGMENT. This unifies the magic numbers to the board design

Disabling the grid should leave the snapping in place. But our disabler
returned the current point as closest, effectively always ensuring the
cursor position was the closest snap. This only uses grid when
requested.
This is temporary until we figure out a way to do multiple constraint

the EC constraint helper places the endpoint on either the primary or

therefore it should be able to snap to any other object, not just those

This also deals with a corner snap case for constraints by first
snapping, then constraining, then aligning to grid. This ensures OoO

Deselection by clicking on a zone makes working with plane zones easier
by allowing the selected item to de-selected by clicking on a zone.
Once the selection is cleared, the zone may be re-selected as normal.
Clicking on non-zone items while a separate item is selected will still
select the new non-zone item without requiring a second click.
Updating connectivity should not need to iterate over the full item list
in each thread. Instead, we collect the dirty items first and then
iterate only over the dirty list.
Our connectivity data threads the ratsnest update based on the number of
nets that have changed. If we are only changing one net (the case when
routing) then making a full thread to update the net is pointless
because we wait for the thread to finish before continuing. This spins
that off to an inline lambda for single updates while still making
threads for multiple ratsnest changes.
This shows the snap indicator even when the item we are snapping to
occurs on a grid point, giving the user an indication that the point is
correctly connected.
Many items require precise, non-grid movement. Adding the ability to
flag a non-grid option will permit this behavior.

Unselecting performs two functions: unselecting and unhighlighting.
Some items may be deselected but still live in the temporary highlighted
layer (e.g. selecting a footprint and exchanging it). Since there is no
harm in unselecting an unselected item, we can allow it to proceed
without the check.
Deselecting each individually had the side-effect of possibly re-drawing
the view in between actions, leading to visible artifacts in the router

This is a boyscouting commit to standardize the threading of zone fills.
We do not need to join threads after their completion, instead we simply
allow them to clean up their memory without blocking the user. This
also sets the maximum number of threads that may be created to the
number of zones being filled. More than this will only leave un-used
threads being created and immediately killed.
We also include the connectivity search as a phase in the fill progress
reporter. This was the case before but did not utilize the correct
