Having a lot of errors can happen when trying to open a non gerber files
(this is easy when loading a zip archive).
With a *lot* of errors (if a large .step file is found) Gerbview can hang.

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Currently, the Gerber file is parsed line by line, This is most of time OK.
But warning: in rare cases some files can have *very long* lines (in fact
have only one line), so the buffer must be very large.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/18890
- comments on more than one line were not fully skipped, creating read errors
- in macros, some primitives (not all) were incorrectly rotated: they must be
rotated around the aperture macro origin, not the primitive origin.
- a new test file with rotated primitives in macros is added.

Remove GERBER_FILE_IMAGE_LIST dependency to EDA_ITEM, useless.
GERBER_FILE_IMAGE: replace DLIST by std::deque to store gerber draw items.
Remove dead code
RS274X Gerber files using only regions (polygons) can be valid, and are not old RS274D files
Now a warning is raised only if there are some missing D codes definitions
(RS274D file or broken RS274X file)
Remove unused var and add comments

Previously, the M and G00, G01, G02 and G03 commands were read, but nothing was actually done.
The current support is a bit rough, but it allows reading some drill files with routing commands.
The main issue is the fact Excellon files have no coordinate fine format definition.
Only the units are defined.
Units are floating point numbers or integer numbers.
Integer numbers can be defined as 3.3 or 2.4 numbers (mm/inches)
However some files (altium drill files for instance) use an other notation.
This fix is a workaround to accept 2.x (inch) or 3.x (mm) notations.

A structured comment is a comment line starting by "G04 #@! " and in fact containing
a X2 attribute. It is used to create Gerber files contianing X2 metadata, but compatible
with X1 file format
