This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.

The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
Fedora, Flatpak, Debian, and possibly other distributions as well, have
packaging helpers who will strip out debug symbols into separate debug
packages.
Currently, the explicitly added "-s" EXE_LINKER_FLAG renders these
automatically created debug packages completely useless, so this change
removes it.
Before, the layers were always ellipsized if the name was >30
characters, even if the widget was wide enough to display
the full name. Now they are ellipsized when needed (e.g. if
the widget is shrunk small enough).

The text areas aren't always redrawn when the window is activated
or deactivated, so we need to force a refresh of the text to ensure
it is the correct font color.
This allows for color changes and scaling of the arrow
when the display needs it (e.g. HiDPI displays).
Also make the arrow and text respond to if the window is
active to mimic native controls.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6042
When the window is not active, the status bar uses disabled text,
so the message panel sticks out because it is then using a different
text color. This is most noticable in dark mode.
Looks like comments outside header section can create problems in some readers.
Note: comments inside header section are clearly allowed in Excellon file format)
(trial to fix bug 8032)
KiCad doesn't yet support full padstacks, but at least we can use the
solder mask / solder paste expansion to import a better result. Also
we can disable the specific layer if the shape has a size of zero.
The CADSTAR post processor has a peculiar feature called "route offset"
which effectively shortens tracks when the pad, track or via that it
connects to has a smaller width. This operation is not saved in the
design itself, but applied as a post processing operation meaning that
the importer has to apply it when loading on the board.

Always add a label at bus terminals to ensure connectivity. The original
design might already have a bus terminal with a given location.
If the original design does not have a label, just make it very small
to keep connectivity but make the design look visually similar to
the original.
SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys were handled in 2 different codes, one for
the selection tool and another to modify the mouse cursor shape, with 2
different configs.
Now the modifiers are managed from only one function.
Pcbnew: group also SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys management to a specific function.

Action plugin authors can specify alternative icon path for dark theme.
If it's not specified then standard icon will be used for both light and
dark themes. If neither icon is specified then the default puzzle piece
icon is used.
Fixes#7984
For some reason, the footprint UUID was being prefixed to the sheet path
which caused the symbol look up by sheet path to fail. An option was
added to not do this when the geographical back annotation to the schematic
is performed.
