Separate out zone edges (which are quite specific, and should
win over most other things) from zone fills (which are pretty
generic and should only be considered when there's nothing else).
Also excludes zone fills when the zones aren't being shown as
filled.
When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being
reselected after passing through the filter. This adjusts the logic to
only deselect those items that are filtered out.
If the user is carefully selecting the zone edge, we do not filter the
zone preemptively from our disambiguation list in the same manner as we
do for selecting on zone copper.

Deselection by clicking on a zone makes working with plane zones easier
by allowing the selected item to de-selected by clicking on a zone.
Once the selection is cleared, the zone may be re-selected as normal.
Clicking on non-zone items while a separate item is selected will still
select the new non-zone item without requiring a second click.
Allows selection of polygons and zones by their visible area. Will only
select polygons/filled areas when they are unobstructed by other
elements in the footprint/pcb. Also adds a "skip heuristics" modifier
key for clicking (ALT) that allows the full disambiguation list to be
displayed without removing less-likely elements. This dovetails the
zone/polygon selection as it allows selecting even when areas a fully
overlapped.

Unselecting performs two functions: unselecting and unhighlighting.
Some items may be deselected but still live in the temporary highlighted
layer (e.g. selecting a footprint and exchanging it). Since there is no
harm in unselecting an unselected item, we can allow it to proceed
without the check.
When editing the pcb, Ctrl-Click will highlight a net. This allows
de-highlight with the ESC/cancel action from the selection tool. Inside
the highlight tool, ESC reverts to the selection tool while keeping the
net highlighted.

The SELECTION is a std::set. Numerical dereference of item n is O(n) as
the iterator is not random access. Therefore, a for loop using
numerical dereference is O(n!) and quickly slows.
We avoid this by storing items to remove separately while iterating and
then removing the items after we complete.

If you select a track with many segments (e.g. a length-tuned track) and
then select all connected items again ('U' -> 'U'), we would iterate
over all items in the selection and mark connections for each of the n
segments n separate times.
We avoid this by using the marked flag to show when the segment has
already been visited by the routine. This means that if the segment has
been checked for connections because it was connected to the previous
item, it won't be checked for connections again. However, a selection
that interleaves items from multiple connection segments will still
(potentially) be multiply checked as the BUSY flag is cleared each time
there is one not-BUSY track in the selection.

Some actions, such as select trivial connection, don't need the
user to choose which trace at a corner to start from -- either
one will do. Same for moving a simple trace corner.
Likewise, Edit in Footprint Editor shouldn't ask if you mean the
footprint or the pad. Obviously it's the footprint.
This change adds a CLIENT_SELECTION_FILTER which allows clients
to do tool- or action-specific filtering of the selection before
the disambiguation menu is run.
It also removes some tool- and action-specific code which was
in the selection_tool and shouldn't have been.

Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks

footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

- GetNetItems() now returns a vector instead of a list
- fixed netcode propagation bug
- factored out EDIT_TOOL::m_offset, now selection offset is stored in SELECTION class
- added VECTOR2I-based Move/Flip/Rotate methods in BOARD_ITEM
-Can paste items from board to module-editor (only module parts)
-Can paste entire modules just as copy

Known limitations:

-If copying things with strange layer names, the layer names will be
changed.
Now the heirarchical sheet selection feature includes tracks that belong
to a net spanning multiple sheets, but only by doing a logical connection
from the pads of the modules. This is to be able to select connections
between components on the same sheet. For example if the sheet contains a
star power connection or something similar, then most of the sheet local
connections will now also be included.
- added TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions()
- made protected and moved TOOL_BASE::setTransitions() to TOOL_INTERACTIVE
- TOOL_MANAGER calls TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions() instead of
setTransitions()
In the previous version the method did not work correctly
when an action was invoked from context menu. In such case,
the cursor position was obtained in the moment of selecting
the action, instead of using the right click location.
This patch adds a radiobox to allow the user to select a reference point for
the move. The additional options are: User Origin (set with <space>),
Grid Origin and Sheet Origin (effectively making it an absolute coordinate).
A checkbox is added (where it makes sense) to allow overriding which point
within the component is put on top of the designated coordinate.

This simplifies the (already simple) SELECTION_AREA class. It is also
moved into KIGFX::PREVIEW and put in the common library, where it can be
reused by other GAL-aware tools (not just in Pcbnew) in future.
- The tools can now specify if the items in the selection must be editable/
deletable. This is groundwork to be able to select/delete DRC markers, which can't
otherwise be edited.
- Fixed disappearing of selected objects
Adds a similar crossprobe as modules has in pcbnew. When clicking a
sheet in eeschema, the items that are exclusive in that scheet will be
selected in pcbnew if using the GAL canvas.
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)
Some grid/zoom tools are left in PCBNEW_CONTROL because they currently
depend on Pcbnew-specific class members. Once refactoring is done to
make it possible to use all zoom and grid controls outside of pcbnew,
these last tools can be moved to common to match their ACTIONs.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
Modifies the selection menu to be adaptive and disable selection options
that are not possible.
Adds a new selection option that is only available when selecting
modules, this tool will select all footprints on the same sheet level or
belonging to subsheets. It will also search for nets that are only
connecting between modules on the same sheet or lower and select every
segment and via belonging to it.
The previous behaviour was to act on only the first item in the
selection. The new behaviour is to act on every eligible item (in this
case, tracks and vias).
Perviously, the generic snapping code would choose the nearest of the
module origin and origin of each module pad when selecting a module
using the "Find module" tool (T hotkey).
This is unlikely to be expected unless the cursor is already near the
correct pad or the module centre.
New behaviour is to pick up by module origin first, then
select the module. This means that the cursor is already nearest the
main module origin anchor, so that is what will be used.

There used to be a number of TOOL_ACTIONs that had entries both in
SetTransitions() and the event loop, which seemed redundant and
troublesome.
Now it is not necessary anymore, transitions setup is enough to execute
associated actions.
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.
If the SELECTION_TOOL's Select... menu is not shown, the separator under
it should also not be shown, so use the same SELECTION_CONDITIONS to
enforce this.
- Finalize transition to BOARD_COMMIT (removed all remaining uses of PICKED_ITEMS_LIST) and implicit view/ratsnest updates
- Simplified SELECTION class, it now can be directly added to a VIEW
- Removed unnecesary casts and templates
- Introduced C++11 features (range based for, lambdas) where they improve code readability
- Added non-undoable COMMITs, which can be used to propagate change notifications to interested listeners (e.g. ratsnest/view)
