Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

No longer used by modern PCB processes.
Only the code to add the target to the board has been removed. Parsing
code for existing designs with targets is left in place.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/10006
The condition that the board must have elements on it before allowing
the rotate command is invalid as we allow rotating new elements before
placement
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10581
(cherry picked from commit c1dcfdffb1)
This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

The 3D mouse support is moved from PCB_EDIT_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME.
This allows all PCB_BASE_FRAME derived windows to have 3D mouse enabled
2D navigation support.
Fix violations of 4.2.2 Function Definitions and 4.2.3 Control
Statements.
Set the minimum CMake version required to build to 3.1.
Removed the Visual Studio solution and project files.
Added full support for using a 3Dconnexion device in PCB_EDIT_FRAME. Commands are exported and can be assigned to 3D mouse buttons. Any limitations to the functionality are limitations of the installed 3Dconnexion driver for the device and OS.
Use build option KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION (default = ON) to control whether the SpaceMouse support is compiled into the solution.
Also fixes a bug where zones meeting at a point would get merged
resulting in a self-intersecting zone.
Also fixes a bug where undo would not be handled correctly when zones
could not be merged.

The value of this rotation was store in 2 places: the config and the editor frame.
So after changing the rotation angle from the preferences, the value in editor
frames were not updated, and the rotation angle not modified.
Now only the config value is used.
