This can be useful when checking 3D models and/or generating
images of components in place on board, or if a dense via field is
in the way when looking at something on an inner layer.
Glew has the problem that it has to be selected at build time if GLX or
EGL is supported by the library, and this in not encoded in the library
name, nor ABI, nor anything.
Then it's easy to get into the situation that a binary is built but
cannot run because glew supports an API different from the one used by
wxWidgets, or the binary fails to link in the end after all objects are
compiled.
epoxy can support both with the same library avoiding this problem.
epoxy is not initialized explicitly, replaced initialization with
version check where one was not done already.
It seems to be available as vcpkg https://vcpkg.link/ports/libepoxy
There are problems related to GL context switching on Windows which does
not seem to be used in kicad
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy#known-issues-when-running-on-windows
There is also a problem related to multithreaded rendering on Windows
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/pull/265 It's harder to tell if
threading is used for rendering but it does not look like kicad is doing
anything complex enough to warrant using multiple rendering threads.

This is the second try at 5326c36a5f. The difference here is that we
have moved GL_CONTEXT_MGR into kicommon first which will hopefully
address some of the Windows linkage issues
The GL context lock needs to be shared across kifaces. Otherwise, we
can end up blocking the lock from one kiface. Unfortunately, I can't
find the issue in GitLab right now for where the footprint viewer shows
a blank screen after opening too many contexts. But that's what this
fixes.

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

F_Cu = 0
B_Cu = 2
Remaining internal copper layers are even and incrementing
Non-copper layers are odd and incrementing.
This means that we can no longer do things like:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer = F_Cu; layer <= B_Cu; ++layer)
Instead, we have the class LAYER_RANGE:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer : LAYER_RANGE( F_Cu, B_Cu) )
Similarly, gt/lt tests should not refer to the integer value of the
layer. We have functions such as IsCopperLayer to test whether a layer
is copper or not.
When using the connectivity RTree, the third dimension is layer, so we
provide B_Cu with the special INT_MAX value, ensuring that elements
between F_Cu and B_Cu will be identified. There is a new, special
function GetBoardLayer() for interfacing with CN_ITEMS
Similarly, PNS layers remain unchanged and sequential. A set of
interface functions is provided to map PNS layers to Board layers and
back. This allows the PNS_LAYER_RANGE to function as expected
Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets
