The default hotkey is Ctrl+L, as this is not bound by
default in the FP or symbol editor, and it is the hotkey
that is used to focus the address bar in web browsers,
which is a similar kind of action.
This splits the tool into two separate tools: by center and
by even gaps. Previously, this was automatically decided, based on
if the items could have any gaps between them. This was unintuitive
as it would appear to arrange by centre point sometimes but not others.
When items aren't all the same width, the results can then be very
different, based only on the starting positions.
The new behaviour is to have a dedicated tool for each, which echos
how graphical programs like Inkscape manage this.
The by-gaps method is then extended to work for overlapping items
(when items overlap, the overlaps are made equal). The logic is
centralised in kimath/geometry, and some QA is added. This should
make it easier to extend to eeschema, for example.
This also (attempts to) address some rounding issues which could
cause minor, but compounding, errors to build up along the list
of items.
Also, fix bugs in the collection filtering - previously items
like markers were filtered out only after the selection size
was used to compute the gaps between items.
Introduces some updates to the inspector, and a number of bug fixes:
- Correctly handles changes in board stackup
- Correctly handles unit change events
- Correctly handles language change events
- All layout / panel settings are stored to the project settings
- Retains ability to create net report
- Simple filter searches on net name and net class name (stored in settings)
- Allows hide / show of columns (stored in settings)
- Grouping by netclass (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net name (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net class (stored in settings)
- Custom grouping by net name match
Short description:
Works for Symbol and Footprint Editor behind an advanced config option.
For Symbol Editor it is shown for a single item selection (library or symbol).
For Footprint Editor it is shown for a footprint selection.
(fp editor allows a single tree item selection only).
Option stays hidden if current frame has been modified.
Also small fix(?) for similar action to the project manager.
(Call for the Execution has moved inside the file loop.)

(Don't require the same text to be put into the tooltip.
It's error-prone and also disallows us from having a separate
tooltip for toolbar buttons.)

AppleClang seems to generate different typeinfo for forward declarations
of classes than the actual class object, so the any_cast for the pointer
parameter fails due to the types not matching (even when they look the
same when printed in the error).
Instead, we must always ensure we use the actual object when defining
the parameter type when placing the object into the event.
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.
This allows common operations like merging a pin courtyard
into the body courtyard in the fooprint editor, taking a
"bite" out of a polygon and so on,
For now, this only supports polygons made of straight lines.
There are some wierd cases when the operations result in nothing
(e.g. wen a big polygon is substracted from a smaller one that
it contains entirely). I have tried to do something senisble in
these cases, but there may be more optimal ways to handle it.
