Apparently mapping Eagle footprint layers to the KiCad Dwg_User
that were previously mapped to UNDEFINED_LAYER breaks the QA test
and causes the footprint editor to crash when opening Eagle
footprints. This means that the potential data loss issue when
loading Eagle footprints is still in play.
The Eagle plugin layers have to be mapped differently depending on
whether a board is being imported or a footprint library is being
cached. Footprint libraries can bypass the manual layer remapping
step that happens when importing a board.
Please note that when loading footprints in the footprint editor
and viewer, all layers that do not directly map to KiCad layers are
put on the Dwg_User layer so that there is data loss. Users will
have to manually remap objects to the correct layer as required.
This is less than ideal but until the footprint library table parser
supports prompting users to remap unknown layers, it will have to do.

Each pad group is allowed to short nets with other pads in its group.
Legacy footprints with the "net tie" keyword hack will get a single
group auto-created with all the footprint's pads in it.
DRC and the router now allow a track to collide with copper graphic items
while entering a net-tie pad as long as the closest point in the collision
is within the pad.
DRC (and the footprint checker) now check for copper items in the
footprint shorting pads which are not in the same pad group.

Pads with zero width or height cause issues when rendering and
selecting. KiCad has never allowed these elements but hasn't prevented
importing systems where they exist. This prevents their import and
cleans existing designs where the pads are placed

Use the connection-independent `Anchor()` function to get connection
points for either arcs or segments in topology. This allows the
ratsnest to be correctly drawn between nets with arcs

Unconnected items and schematic partity violations are also now
represented by markers, so the ERC/DRC window itself needs to do
the deep-delete.
