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.
Graphic lines and polygons are drawn to fit specific areas for which it
is helpful to have the endpoint controlled by the cursor even when
constraining the angle.

Use standard Magnetize() to handle grid and magnetic pads.
Use the standard menu from PCB_TOOL. Delegating the menu to
the SELECTION_TOOL just caused grief.
Also brings clients (such as Position Relative To) into line,
and implements better Cancel behaviour.
Also improves visibility of modal status messages:
- moves Select Anchor message from status bar to popup
- moves Select Reference message from dialog to popup

Also fixes some interactivity issues in the microwave tools around
single-click tools that have initial properties dialogs. Those
need to act kind of like a hybrid between single-click and two-click
tools.

- added TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions()
- made protected and moved TOOL_BASE::setTransitions() to TOOL_INTERACTIVE
- TOOL_MANAGER calls TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions() instead of
setTransitions()
The zone creation in DRAWING_TOOL was a complex event loop whici
simultaneously managed the event handling, construction of the preview
polygon and the creation and commiting of the zone, all in the same
scope. This has been broken into several pieces:
* POLYGON_ITEM preview item, used to preview the polygon in progress
* POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER is a class that collects points from user input
and used them to describe a polygon's geometry, including calculation
of 45-degree constrained leader lines
* ZONE_CREATE_HELPER is a class which deals with creating zones based on
geometry from a geometry manager and parameters from the DRAWING_TOOL
* The (much simpler) event loop in DRAWING_TOOL drives the
POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER. With a minor refactor, this loop can be reused
in future for other polygonal tools if wanted.
The polygon preview now has a translucent fill which makes it easier to
visualise the zone.
This also adds the Close Zone Outline and Delete Last Corner actions as
part of the new event loop.

SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
This action launches the normal interactive zone tool, but re-uses the
settings from an existing zone, based on a flag passed to the main zone
function.
Break a chunk of the new zone tool out into a separate function to keep
the code clear. When zone cutouts and similar zone tools are added,
they'll get the settings from existing zones.
This commit now used std::unique_ptr for the temporary zone item, which
simplifies handling of the ownership of that item.
Automatically switch to a drawing layer, if a copper layer was
preselected. No annoying message boxes.
Do not deactivate the tool on layer switch.
Replaced setting updatePreview with direct calls to VIEW::update
Line width is kept in m_lineWidth for all shapes.
This means that non-top-level tools, for example EDIT_TOOL and
PCB_EDITOR_CONTROL can submit their own menus to the top-level tool's
TOOL_MENU, which will then retain a reference to it and make it
available for the CONTEXT_MENU that is shown.
Add a class TOOL_MENU, which provides a management class for a
CONDITIONAL_MENU and a set of CONTEXT_MENUs. The aim of this is to
provide a central place where all TOOL_INTERACTIVEs can get a "basic"
context menu that either they or other tools can register new items and
sub-menus against.
This means that "top-level" tools no longer need to manage the lifetimes
of any CONTEXT_MENUs that they add, and can also delegate simple menu
display functions.
