If the nomenclature is unclear, we should rework the dialog rather than
adding documentation strings to a crowded dialog.
This also prevents new strings from appearing in v6
The parent window was always the board edit frame,
but this is incorrect when this dialog is called from the Plot dialog.

Using the normal command, oval holes are "drilled" by a route command.
Some board houses do not accept this normal command.
In this case, the drill dialog allows using an other Excellon drill command (a slotted hole).
Note also some board houses do not understand this alternate command!
Small icons for dialog browse, refresh, and row operations.
Icons in B&W so they don't over-emphasize with respect to other
controls in the dialog.
Layout cleanup for consistency. Removal of the blank space to
left of the fields list in the Global Fields Editor, and addition
of column-sizing-to-list-width.
More even spacing for buttons in html report panel.
Honor platform conventions for action button order and layout.
Move netlist importer to update-pcb-from-schematic algorithm
(display messages and then update instead of "dry run" checkbox)
(cherry picked from commit b21e19d)
Many had already been fixed but weren't working on Mac because
of the DIALOG_SHIM hack (now fixed). Others hadn't been updated
yet. Also includes some cleanup for elipses in buttons and
layout.

* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1748506
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
reasons:
* This option is called "bad practice" in gerber files format specifications and is even forbidden in gerber drill files.
* Generates problems with some board makers because these holes are not identified in a single NC file.
* No one was able to explain us how to identified them in a single NC file.
* Recent change in drill file generation is not compatible with merged holes (minor reason)
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
SVG export does not use no more wxWidgets wxDC.
In pcbnew SVG files can be created by plot menu (in B&W) or export SVG menu (B&W or Color).
Export SVG menu is more suitable to create a view of a board, and plot menu is better to create a B&W document of silkscreen layers.
(In the future, the 2 menus could be merged, because they are not very different).
Note: pcbnew plot code is cleaned, mainly in dialog files, but still needs more cleanup.
Mainly to plot drill maps, but can be used to plot boards, for documentation.
The print svg still exists, but the plot SVG has more options (mirroring, holes in pads),
however print svg allows color print, and full board printing, and plot does not.
