This selection improvement feature is hidden behind the advanced
configuration key "PcbSelectionVisibilityRatio". It is turned off (1.0)
by default. Value values are from 0.0 to less that 1.0. From testing,
using a value between 0.1 and 0.3 produces the best results.
This fix uses normal alpha blending described in the link below. The
current design only uses the alpha of the object's color. It could be
improved by doing a full color alpha blending but using the color alpha
alone seems to result in satisfactory results.

The hack assumed that the parent group would be the first
deleted item of type group in the undo list. While this
will be true when undoing a user ungroup command, it will
not be when undoing an ungroup side-effect, such as when a
member of a group is deleted during UpdateFromPCB.

The router preview item can be specific to the part that is being
tuned, rather than the whole net. It's also less visually noisy as
it doesn't dim/undim the rest of the board.
Using kigfx preview items for the status keeps us from having a bunch
of focus issues with the status popup window.
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

- move place dimensions to a sub menu (they are not frequently used, and it
reduce the size of the place menu
- add reset drill origin, similar to reset grid origin.
- fix regression: allow grouping or not imported items
- store more settings in Pcbnew settings: all options are now stored.
- default tolerance to connect items is now 0.01 mm. 1 mm is a too big value,
and can create serious artifacts in imported outlines.
(It's still leaking into BOARD_COMMIT and some other places, but at
least it no longer leaks into all the edit tools.)
Also fixes some bugs when moving/copying/pasting multiple selections
containing length-tuning patterns.
