Especially, small round rect pads have a ugly shape because the number of segments is
small and the 90 deg arcs are not very well approximated.
The minimal seg count for 90 deg arcs is now 4 (16 segm/circle) for pads.
Fixes: lp:1833005

This corrects an issue with fill segments-per-circle and moves the error
to segmetns calculation down in a number of functions to expose the
single value for approximation
Allows 0 to 4 chamfered corners, not only one.
A custom shape allow this kind of shape. However because it is a primitive,
it is easier to edit and it support thermal reliefs.
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
The plan goes like this:
- eeschema still uses int in decidegrees
- all the other things internally use double in decidegrees (or radians
in temporaries)
- in pcbnew UI the unit is *still* int in decidegrees
The idea is to have better precision everywhere while keeping the user with int i
angles. Hopefully, if a fractional angle doesn't come in from the outside, everything
should *look* like an integer angle (unless I forgot something and it broke)
When the time comes, simply updating the UI for allowing doubles from the user should
be enough to get arbitrary angles in pcbnew.
* All items shapes are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons, not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.
