When we generate hulls, by default we subtract the clearance epsilon
to prevent false collisions in the router that wouldn't be flagged
by DRC. However, we need to use the actual hull with no epsilon
when generating hulls for pathfinding in the walkaround system.
Without this change, it is possible for the walkaround to generate
a valid-seeming path that results in a DRC violation, for example
when dragging a drag against a board edge.

The constant chosen is somewhat arbitrary and may need
further tuning or a more complex algorithm, but in general
this will prevent churning when solutions can't be found or
a solution can be found but it is unrealistic (going around
the entire board)

The log viewer tool lets you inspect all the intermediate stages of the routing algorithms. This patch:
- Adds source location tracking of the debug calls (need to use the PNS_DBG macro, sorry)
- Moves some wxLogTrace calls to DEBUG_DECORATOR::Message() so that messages can be displayed alongside the corresponding geometric shapes
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.
The first one keeps a log of events (start routing, mouse motion, etc).
The second allows for adding temporary debug drawings and messages which are stored synchronously with the events in LOGGER.
The event stream together with the PCB design (now with UUIDs) can be used to deterministically replay routing bugs as the user sees them.
- fixed walkaround bug causing unwanted overlap/clearance violation when the first segment of trace being laid intersects the obstacle's hull at the same point twice (ie. goes in, turns around and goes out).
- fixed placer bug not splitting the start segment after toggling via placement or changing trace width
