There are a few steps to assign correct nets to zones/track/vias:
- create a net name to pad map
- perform 2 stage netlist update (fix timestamps and then references)
- compare new net names with the previously created net map, save the
differences as a old net to new net map
- remap zones/tracks/vias using the map created in the previous step
The main advantage here is it correctly handles unnamed nets (i.e. ones
without any net labels attached), which might be changed by KiCad
netlist generator.
It's too expensive to fetch the timestamps when the github
server is busy. See Dick Hollenbeck's comments at the top of
github_plugin.cpp for more info.
Also adds some safety to the other caching algorithms after
seeing github_plugin's wild-west usage of the kicad_plugin.

When aligning module centers, it can be hard to determine which item
will be chosen for the alignment target when it chooses based on the
median of the center values. Instead, this patch chooses the alignment
target as the top and left most items of the Y and X centering,
respectively
When aligning in pcbnew, check for pad/module locks before performing a
move and query the user.
When aligning on pads, don't move the pad without moving the footprint,
so we don't break footprints.

Remove a throw in the Eagle importer which just threw a wedge
in the works, and return a default modTime when the file hasn't
been set yet.
Give the gEDA importer the multi-file cache management performance
improvements from the kicad_plugin.

reimplement the centerpoint distribution and use it when the items to be
distributed overlap leaving no gap to use for spacing

Dispatches a TA_MODEL_CHANGE event when the design rules dialog is

Frame, dialog and config file couldn't agree on whether to use
internal units or not.
Frame now stores internal units, and they're now mapped on the
way in/out of the config file. Dialog was already assuming they
were stored in internal units (though they were previuosly not).

Too many external applications fail to touch the parent directory.
Also removes FP_CACHE_ITEM lastMod times and dirty flags as we've
always loaded libraries atomically anyway.
Claws back some of the performance lost by being more efficient
with cache management for sequential calls to Enumerate and then
Load.
