This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

When placing a stitching via for a bypass capacitor, it is common to
place it close to the relevant pad. If the via does not have the
correct net, this will violate DRC and be prevented.
Checking for zone-based net assignments allows the workflow to proceed
They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
After drawing a graphic, allow the control points to persist when
exiting the tool.
The effect of this is to make the first "Esc" press a
"return-to-select-tool" event without modifying the selection or control
points from within the drawing tools. The section "Esc" press, when in
the selection tool will clear the selection and the control points
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
The move tool can stack on others, so when we re-enter the previous tool
this caused another immediate action. We flag re-entry in the tool
stack to check for this and avoid unexpected tool starts
Non-layer elements can be logical centers for the circle and arc tools.
We allow the non-layer to snap for the center points and revert to only
on-layer elements after

CHANGED: manually-placed (stitching) vias won't have their nets automatically updated
(unless the via is placed directly on a track segment)
CHANGED: stitching vias can be placed on footprint pads and pick up their nets

Groups do not own their children; they only reference them. That
being said, they do own *selection* and *moving* of their children.
This might address some of 6493, but in any case will be a
pre-requisite for fixing it.

a line)

These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
The snap obeys only the Ctrl key and not the global preference setting
for drawsegments because rectangles are _always_ on H/V lines when drawn

This is a board file format change to account for the new properties.
Also, we now only store the critical information about the dimension's
geometry in the board, rather than storing every drawn line.
The DIMENSION object is now an abstract base, and ALIGNED_DIMENSION
is the implementation that exists today (we will add more dimension
types in the future)
You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
CHANGED: If a rectangle is drawn and the location of the second corner
is the same as another rectangle's second corner, Pcbnew crashes. The
reason is that a call is made to DRAWSEGMENT::GetLength(), but that
function only handles shapes of type S_CURVE and S_SEGMENT. This code
checks if the overlapping end points are from a rectangle and if so
it doesn't call DRAWSEGMENT::GetLength().

ADDED: Allow DXF/SVG graphics to be imported as a group
Also, cleanup the placement routine to allow the edit tool's flip
and rotate routines to be used when placing the items.
This is a really hard problem to get right. This algorithm won't
look quite right if you assemble a paragraph from disjoint text
objects and flip them all top-to-bottom (as it will re-order the
text). But this is really the nature of the problem (and has to
stay that way to correctly flip disjoint graphic items or mixed
text and graphic items). The real fix here is to support text
wrapped in a single text box.

As long as the arc angle stays below <60°, it will automatically choose between
clockwise and counter clockwise. This allows the user to choose the direction
with a simple mouse movement.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files

CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object

Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
Before, if the tools were activated from the context menu,
they would start drawing where the menu item was selected
instead of where the menu was opened.
The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%
sure it will break something, I just haven’t a clue what.
