If the selection filter has blocked all selections under the cursor,
show a subtle flash on which filter(s) did the blocking. Helpful for
people getting frustrated by not being able to select locked items.

Defaults to fully expanded but stores the names for nodes that are
collapsed in project local settings. Because project local settings are
generally changed by modifying views or selection filters, these should
be saved on close rather than only when the project is saved

- Adds time and delay units
- Adds time domain tuning parameters entry and storage
- Adds pad-to-die delay property
- Adds time domain parameter interface for length / delay calculations
- Adds unit tracking for numerical constants through LIBEVAL
- Will need future work to truly propagate through binary expressions
- Adds time domain tuning to meander placers
- Adds time delay display to net inspector panel
- Modifies DRC to handle time domain constraints
This option is not exposed in the UI or advanced config and duplicates
the action of changing the zone fill type and creates additional ways
that boards can be modified by local, non-board settings.
Don't keep passwords in plain text config files that may be checked into
version control. Passwords stored in system-specific password managers

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
This ensures that after bulk updates, netclasses are recomputed
when next accessed.
Also document interface cache contracts in documentation. This
interface will need tidying up in v10
ADDED: Add support in Pcbnew for exporting ODB++ files under Fabrication
Outputs, base on ODB++Design Format Specification (Release v8.1
Update 3 February 2021).
Note: There is still a lot of work to do if we will make the feature as
complete as the ODB++ spec. However, the current functionality's
completeness is already sufficient to cover general production
scenarios. I have compared the output results with Gerber files by
DFM tool and the accuracy at the graphic level should be able to
cover most usage scenarios. Additionally, I am very grateful to
the great open-source project Horizon EDA for giving me a lot of
inspiration in terms of ideas.
The feature can be enabled by adding "EnableODB=1" to the kicad_advanced
configuration file.

Makes a test backup file and compares to the existing zip file backup to
see if the files have changed since it was made. If so, the new file is
kept. If not, we discard the new file and continue

- Fixes early load during NESTED_SETTINGS construction within
SCHEMATIC_SETTINGS, now failing due to missing migrations at that
object construction point
- Adds missing (NOOP) migration for NET_SETTINGS schema versions 1 -> 2
Introduces some updates to the inspector, and a number of bug fixes:
- Correctly handles changes in board stackup
- Correctly handles unit change events
- Correctly handles language change events
- All layout / panel settings are stored to the project settings
- Retains ability to create net report
- Simple filter searches on net name and net class name (stored in settings)
- Allows hide / show of columns (stored in settings)
- Grouping by netclass (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net name (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net class (stored in settings)
- Custom grouping by net name match

ADDED: Context menu item in PCB appearances widget to import netclass
color from schematic.
ADDED: Context menu item to reset PCB netclass color (replicating
same menu item from Nets inspector)
