Having thread pool as its own singleton in the library meant that each
kiface had its own threadpool, leading to many multiples of the threads
being started. Placing a singleton class in PGM_BASE ensures that all
kifaces use the same thread pool.
The singleton class can be extended to provide single instance
guarantee for any element across kifaces
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
Also adds the layer name to the "thermal connection incomplete" DRC
error message.
Also improves zone layer description to not say "X and 1 more" (which
takes as much room as saying "X and Y").

1) Move a bunch of std::map's to std::unordered_map to get constant-time
look-ups
2) Lengthen progress-reporting intervals to spend more time doing work
and less time talking about it
3) Reverse order of SHAPE_LINE_CHAINs in thermal intersection checks to
make (much) better use of bbox caches
4) Don't re-generate bboxes we already have
5) Fix some autos that weren't by reference (and were therefore copying
large datasets)
6) Rename delta progressDelta so it's easier to search for in future
7) Get rid of a few more autos (because I don't like them)
8) Pass large items to lambdas by reference

Thread pools are long-lasting executors that have close to zero overhead
when launching new jobs. This is advantageous over creating new threads
as we can use this for threading smalling jobs and smaller quanta. It
also avoids the heuristics needed to determine the optimal number of
threads to spawn
Threaded DRC access will write to this string, re-allocating the memory
without any synchronization between threads using the string. Comment
adding this listed performance as a reason for using shared strings.
Measured performance does not seem noticeably different in either case,
even with high-error count boards. If there is a case where the
performance is limiting, we can replace these wxStrings with
std::wstring and utilize fmt

ADDED zone_connection constraint.
ADDED thermal_relief_gap and thermal_spoke_width constraints.
ADDED angle override for thermal relief spokes in Pad Properties.
