It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
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.
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.

We were discarding shapes too aggressively for having a

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,

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

When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
Also remove an implicit zone merge that was happening when the user
edited the zone parameters. This appears to have been a feature but it
happened without a) telling the user and b) having the option to prevent
it.

CHANGED: If the user made a selection and then tried dragging it, the
drag would only succeed if the selection contained at least one
footprint. Selections with only tracks and vias would instead make
KiCad drag a new selection box.
This MR allows routing of selections of a single track or via, while moving
selections containing more than one item, whether or not they also contain
a footprint.

This simple commit makes the Pcbnew copy to clipboard operation snap the
obtained cursor position to grid before the anchors are calculated. This
is also the way the move operation has been apparently working so far.
To be clear, this will not remove all cases where the copy reference
point is not aligned to the grid (see the linked Gitlab issue for
details about the problem). This will still occur for zone outlines that
are not axis-aligned. But such behavior has been so far also present in
the moving operation, so this may be as designed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7507
The automatic wire tool was not working in the gridless mode because the
grid snapping on/off logic present in `EE_GRID_HELPER`, based on the
value of `m_enableGrid`, was not taking into account that another check,
but for the global KiCad setting, would be performed in the `Align()`
method, which is inherited from `GRID_HELPER`.
I've modified all tests of `m_enableGrid` value to also take the global
setting into account, and moved checks for it to `Align()` method, as
it's more consistent this way.
I've also removed an override of the `Align()` method in the
`PCB_GRID_HELPER` class, as it was made redundant by my changes.

Some differences are due to difference between libraries being files
in symbol editor and directories in footprint editor, but this unifies
most of the rest.
It also dispenses with the save-to-library vs save-to-document distinction
in the GUI because it makes for too much variability in the GUI, was
implemented differently between the two editors, and isn't needed as much
anymore now that we have the highly visible infobar.
There was also an issue that the save-to-board icon occupies the same
location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.

One way to do this would have been to keep the Uuids in the editor
copy. However, this opens us up to errors if we forget a Save As or
export path and end up writing the Uuids out somewhere else.
In the end, it felt safer to store a map of the original Uuids and
restore them if we happen to save the editor footprint back to the
board.

Two issues found with the locking system used to prevent access to
stale connectivity data during the zone fill process:
1) a std::mutex has undefined behavior if you try to use it to guard
against access from the same thread. Because of the use of wx event
loops (and coroutines) it is entirely possible, and in some situations
inevitable, that the same thread will try to redraw the ratsnest in the
middle of zone refilling.
2) The mutex was only guarding the ZONE_FILLER::Fill method, but the callers
of that method also do connectivity updates as part of the COMMIT::Push.
Redrawing the ratsnest after the Fill but before the Push will result in
stale connectivity pointers to zone filled areas.
Fixed (1) by switching to a trivial spinlock implementation. Spinlocks would
generally not be desirable if the contention for the connectivity data crossed
thread boundaries, but at the moment I believe it's guaranteed that the reads
and writes to connectivity that are guarded by this lock happen from the main
UI thread. The writes are also quite rare compared to reads, and reads are
generally fast, so I'm not really worried about the UI thread spinning for any
real amount of time.
Fixed (2) by moving the locking location up to the call sites of
ZONE_FILLER::Fill.
This issue was quite difficult to reproduce, but I found a fairly reliable way:
It only happens (for me) on Windows, MSYS2 build, with wxWidgets 3.0
It also only happens if I restrict PcbNew to use 2 CPU cores.
With those conditions, I can reproduce the issue described in #6471 by
repeatedly editing a zone properties and changing its net. The crash is
especially easy to trigger if you press some keys (such as 'e' for edit)
while the progress dialog is displayed. It's easiest to do this in a debug
build as the slower KiCad is running, the bigger the window is to trigger this
bug.

This unifies everything under a single architecture with a "don't

Right now it presents 3 options: modify only unlocked items, override
locks and modify all items, or cancel command.
