This adds the microwave tools to GAL in Pcbnew as a new tool:
MICROWAVE_TOOL.
Some new preview items are introduced to support this:
* TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER for managing construction of two-point
geometries, such as that used to construct the inductor.
* CENTRELINE_RECT_ITEM a preview item to draw ractangle with a given
aspect ratio along a line (specified using a TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER)
PCB_TOOL gets a generic event loops which should be useful for more
than just microwave tools:
* doInteractiveItemPlacement() - handles event loops that wait for a
click, create an item on click and then allow moving it
around/flipping, etc.

This makes it possible to access the creation functions
for the microwave inductor externally, so that it can be
used from GAL.
Unlike the Gap/Stub tools, the inductor tool is more interactive, and
doesn't just return a MODULE*.
Introduces a new directory in pcbnew called 'microwave' to better
isolate generic (i.e. canvas-agnostic) functions, and a namespace MWAVE
to avoid polluting the global namespace.
This adds a richer overlay to the arc-by-three-points tool in Pcbnew,
including more guide-lines and a live display of radius and angle.
Also included is ability to go back to the previous step (if setting end
angle, you can go back to setting start point, etc) using Backspace, and
Ctrl snaps the start/end angles to 45 degree multiples.
This adds new classes
* MULTISTEP_GEOM_MANAGER: represents a generic "geometry manager" that
builds up some geometrical construction based on a sequence of points.
Used by:
* ARC_GEOM_MANAGER: handles the logical flow of constructing an
arc by centre-point, set radius, set angle. This moves the logic out
of the Pcbnew DRAWING_TOOL event loop in drawArc().
* ARC_ASSISTANT: graphical overlay to communicate current arc shape to
the user during the drawing process
Add typedef for wxCoord to wx.i to enable usage of methods like
EDA_RECT.Inflate.
Added id.h to pcbnew.i to expose window toolbar identifier names.
Added Refresh() and WindowZoom() to pcbnew_scripting_helper.
For a start, this contains the GAL display settings (AA settings and
grid styling).
In future, other modedit-specific settings could go here too.
Fixes: lp:1672150

The primary motivation here is to allow other GAL canvas users (eg
Modedit, and soon Gerbview) to be able to easily modify GAL canvas
options.
For now, this doesn't change the display properties dialog in
appearance, but if more GAL options are added, it might need a bit of
tweak and maybe tabs or similar, like Eeschema preferences.
This patch is only known to work with OCE version 0.17.3 on mingw. It
should not be used for any other purpose. It breaks all other OCE builds
except mingw.
Calling external applications with wxWidgets failed when the file name
contained non-ASCII characters.
Please note that this patch does not require wxWidgets to be recompiled.
It only changes a header file which means the patch can be applied to
an existing wxWidgets install. However, KiCad does need to be rebuilt
after this patch is applied. This patch is not required if you do not
need non-ASCII character file name support.
