IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

- move place dimensions to a sub menu (they are not frequently used, and it
reduce the size of the place menu
- add reset drill origin, similar to reset grid origin.
This allows common operations like merging a pin courtyard
into the body courtyard in the fooprint editor, taking a
"bite" out of a polygon and so on,
For now, this only supports polygons made of straight lines.
There are some wierd cases when the operations result in nothing
(e.g. wen a big polygon is substracted from a smaller one that
it contains entirely). I have tried to do something senisble in
these cases, but there may be more optimal ways to handle it.

Using the new ITEM_MODIFICATION_ROUTINE system, drop in two new
tools: chamfer and line extend. These are two geometric operations
that are relatively common when editing footprints in particular.
Chamfer delegates the geometric calculations to a dedicated unit
in kimath/geometry.
Change teardrop generation to rely more heavily on BOARD_CONNECTIVITY
for improved performance.
Add updating of teardrops on BOARD_COMMIT::Push().
Also converts m_CopperItemRTreeCache to std::shared_ptr.
We don't copy it around anyway, and having to create a new set
of std::unique_ptr's for each operation is likely to be more
expensive than std::shared_ptr's overhead.
dropping files to Kicad manager :
*.kicad_pro, *.pro -> open project;
gerber and job files -> open in Gerbview editor;
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.

3x Selection-Based Routing Tools. Takes a selection of routable objects
and routes them one at a time individually, with an attempted finish, or
from the other end, depending on the action given.
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.

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.
