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
On msys2 a link issue (3 undefined symbols) prevent Gerbview to be built.
So I added this option (KICAD_ENABLE_3DMOUSE_GERBVIEW, enabled by default)
to disable 3Dconnexion support on request.
The diff mode (option in left toolbar) was never a differential display mode.
It is actually an option to force the alpha channel (opacity) of layer colors
to a given value.
So change the name and tool tips to force opacity mode, and make the opacity
parameter adjustable in preferences.
Gerbview: cleanup: remove a old and dead code.
As of wxWidgets 3.2, the wxWidgets event handler runs code after the
the client event handler that depends on the menu still existing.
Because there are potentially many paths to call ReCreateMenuBar from
within a menu event handler, let's just wrap this action in a CallAfter
to make sure it happens after the wx handler call completes.

* Create a new inspection tool to hold the measure tool and
the other inspection items
* Move some control functions from the frame to a tool and
rearrange the code to be cleaner.
CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.

* Frames moved: cvpcb, cvpcb footprints frame, gerbview, pagelayout editor
This also introduces new EDITOR_CONDITIONS that are used to set the
conditions of very common editor settings.
Also, some IDs were converted to tools in the pagelayout editor.
