Makes model substitution (VRML->STEP in STEP Export) optional. This can
prevent nasty surprises where the user doesn't see/can't affect the
outcome
Also, when substituting models, do not maintain scale factor. So a VRML
model with non-unity scaling will not be export as a STEP file (of the
same name) with non-unity scaling. This is the first step to address
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1781
It would be ideal if it would use the s-expr
kicad_pcb.general.title_block.title by default, and then fall back to
something based on the output step file, but even just the output step
file is a far better default than the "open cascade step translator
version..." text it uses at the moment.
Similar improvements using the title_block would be future work.

FreeCAD uses gzip-based stpZ files but many programs will compress using
the archive format of PKZIP (e.g. WinZIP). This handles the archive
format, taking the first file from the archive, which by the standard
should be the STEP file
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5376
- The default value is 0.01 mm (according to comments and similar to the 3D viewer
settings that uses 0.02 mm)
- The export dialog has now 3 values 1 micron, 0.01mm (default) and 0.1 mm
The 0.1 micron option is removed: it makes no sense for a mechanical tolerance.
Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
