This selection improvement feature is hidden behind the advanced
configuration key "PcbSelectionVisibilityRatio". It is turned off (1.0)
by default. Value values are from 0.0 to less that 1.0. From testing,
using a value between 0.1 and 0.3 produces the best results.
This fix uses normal alpha blending described in the link below. The
current design only uses the alpha of the object's color. It could be
improved by doing a full color alpha blending but using the color alpha
alone seems to result in satisfactory results.

When exiting the dialog without actually visiting the table, the grid
cursor could be missing, so it could return -1. Guard against that
condition.

The old bottom to top layer stack up sequence from back to front layer was
only used for plotting so it was renamed appropriately. This will be used
for future board object select disambiguation improvements.
When the grid is being validated, SetValue is called, which then ends up
running the file filter update. However, if the cell was never selected,
the file browser button would never have been created.

The schematic librayr table was missing the Kicad Sexpr filter, and also
the filter inside the grid editor was never updated when the library
plugin type was changed in the grid, so a library of the new type could
not be selected.

Set a default control so that the escape key closes the dialog.
Select the OK button after the user selects an annotation option. This
allows for keyboard navigation of the dialog and saves an extra mouse
move and click to when choosing an annotation setting.
The router preview item can be specific to the part that is being
tuned, rather than the whole net. It's also less visually noisy as
it doesn't dim/undim the rest of the board.
Using kigfx preview items for the status keeps us from having a bunch
of focus issues with the status popup window.
It appears that in our zeal to prevent file changes when saving shared
schematics, we (I) clobbered saving relative symbol instance data paths
to the clipboard. This has be restored along with setting the correct
symbol unit for relative clipboard paths.
Fixed a serious issue with KIID_PATH::MakeRelativeTo() where the original
path was not restored when the incremental KIID object test fails. This
also included a minor optimization using the actual KIID object for
comparison instead of converting it to a string and then comparing the
string.
