When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
We auto-size them in the code and doing both produces nothing but a
mess.
Also improves the auto-sizing for the layers drop-down (particularly
needed for the new, somewhat longer, layer names.

Also remove an implicit zone merge that was happening when the user
edited the zone parameters. This appears to have been a feature but it

We cannot do forward/reverse annotation in Single Top mode because we

- Rename member variable names to use the 'm_' prefix
- Rename a few object types that clashed with KiCad object names, such

Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.

First issue: the C++ action plugins list should be cleared so that any
plugins that fail to reload do not hang around on the toolbar.
This is fixed on the C++ side.
Second issue: inner dependencies of plugins that are modules were not
reloaded before, which broke reloading for many plugin examples out there.
This is fixed on the Python side by keeping track of dependencies and
clearing them out before reloading a module (unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a way to do this in the standard library)

This change is mainly due to the fact Modal dialogs do not work when our
current tool is the tool used to create new item (text, zone, graphic).
If when this tool is active, one try to edit the properties of the new item
being created (or being placed) the modal dialog does not capture the event tool
and hangs (cannot be dismissed)
Our quasi modal dialogs have their own event loop and work.

CHANGED: If the user made a selection and then tried dragging it, the
drag would only succeed if the selection contained at least one
footprint. Selections with only tracks and vias would instead make
KiCad drag a new selection box.
This MR allows routing of selections of a single track or via, while moving
selections containing more than one item, whether or not they also contain
a footprint.

1) Don't remove items from group when the group is being deleted as
well. We need those pointers for undo/redo.
2) Flip the GROUP/UNGROUP undo status when undoing/redoing group and
ungroup actions.
3) Remove PCB_GROUP_T from the rebuild-netlists section. Nothing
about an item's group/ungrouped status changes its netlisting.
4) Add PCB_PAD_T to the rebuild-netlists section. It can probably
only happen in the footprint editor where we don't care about
netlisting, but it's conceptually more correct and who knows what
might change in the future....

This simple commit makes the Pcbnew copy to clipboard operation snap the
obtained cursor position to grid before the anchors are calculated. This
is also the way the move operation has been apparently working so far.
To be clear, this will not remove all cases where the copy reference
point is not aligned to the grid (see the linked Gitlab issue for
details about the problem). This will still occur for zone outlines that
are not axis-aligned. But such behavior has been so far also present in
the moving operation, so this may be as designed.

For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
The removal of the pcbnew general section was meant for v6 but passed
the deadline. This removes the duplication of thickness. We do not
allow the thickness to be different between nominal and stackup, so
keeping separate text fields is unnecesarily confusing to users
The automatic wire tool was not working in the gridless mode because the
grid snapping on/off logic present in `EE_GRID_HELPER`, based on the
value of `m_enableGrid`, was not taking into account that another check,
but for the global KiCad setting, would be performed in the `Align()`
method, which is inherited from `GRID_HELPER`.
I've modified all tests of `m_enableGrid` value to also take the global
setting into account, and moved checks for it to `Align()` method, as
it's more consistent this way.
I've also removed an override of the `Align()` method in the
`PCB_GRID_HELPER` class, as it was made redundant by my changes.

Some CADSTAR designs use zero sized pads because CADSTAR did not allow
arbitrarily assigning pad numbers: they had to be sequential. The
workaround to this was to use zero sized pads. However this causes DRC
errors in KiCad, so we load them just in a mask layer.
1. Make sure to convert to KiCad units
2. There are some KiCad rules that have no CADSTAR equivalent.
Make a guess as to what an appropriate rule could be.
It just means the outline wasn't malformed. It might still be
empty.
[Edit: my fix collided with JP's, so all this really is now is a
couple of slight performance improvements.]

You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
Some differences are due to difference between libraries being files
in symbol editor and directories in footprint editor, but this unifies
most of the rest.
It also dispenses with the save-to-library vs save-to-document distinction
in the GUI because it makes for too much variability in the GUI, was
implemented differently between the two editors, and isn't needed as much
anymore now that we have the highly visible infobar.
There was also an issue that the save-to-board icon occupies the same
location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.

The conditions prevent use in immediate mode for common actions. While
this makes enable/disable easier in menu items, this fix is a patch

One way to do this would have been to keep the Uuids in the editor
copy. However, this opens us up to errors if we forget a Save As or
export path and end up writing the Uuids out somewhere else.
In the end, it felt safer to store a map of the original Uuids and
restore them if we happen to save the editor footprint back to the
board.

New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).

New strategy is to draw the hole wall cylinder if the pad (or via)
isn't flashed on a particular layer. This is (1) more correct,
(2) keeps pads which aren't flashed on any layer from disappearing,
and (3) allows us to remove a bunch of the other special cases.
Or at least I think it does. The proof will be in the (lack of)
follow-on bug reports....

Two issues found with the locking system used to prevent access to
stale connectivity data during the zone fill process:
1) a std::mutex has undefined behavior if you try to use it to guard
against access from the same thread. Because of the use of wx event
loops (and coroutines) it is entirely possible, and in some situations
inevitable, that the same thread will try to redraw the ratsnest in the
middle of zone refilling.
2) The mutex was only guarding the ZONE_FILLER::Fill method, but the callers
of that method also do connectivity updates as part of the COMMIT::Push.
Redrawing the ratsnest after the Fill but before the Push will result in
stale connectivity pointers to zone filled areas.
Fixed (1) by switching to a trivial spinlock implementation. Spinlocks would
generally not be desirable if the contention for the connectivity data crossed
thread boundaries, but at the moment I believe it's guaranteed that the reads
and writes to connectivity that are guarded by this lock happen from the main
UI thread. The writes are also quite rare compared to reads, and reads are
generally fast, so I'm not really worried about the UI thread spinning for any
real amount of time.
Fixed (2) by moving the locking location up to the call sites of
ZONE_FILLER::Fill.
This issue was quite difficult to reproduce, but I found a fairly reliable way:
It only happens (for me) on Windows, MSYS2 build, with wxWidgets 3.0
It also only happens if I restrict PcbNew to use 2 CPU cores.
With those conditions, I can reproduce the issue described in #6471 by
repeatedly editing a zone properties and changing its net. The crash is
especially easy to trigger if you press some keys (such as 'e' for edit)
while the progress dialog is displayed. It's easiest to do this in a debug
build as the slower KiCad is running, the bigger the window is to trigger this
bug.
