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

Previously, it always used the top left item's position.
This is inconvenient for lots of reasons in the symbol editor,
for example when moving a line, it will warp your mouse to
the other end if you try to move from the end, not the start
(you don't know which is which!). And if you're moving something
like a whole number of grid spaces, like a rectangle, it's
impossible to place it other than the start position on the grid.
Add SCH_PIN to the get anchor position function, and use the
normal GRID_HELPER logic to detect a grab point. This still
rejects graphics if connectables are selected to preserve
on grid connections.
The code in the area mentioned https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/11151
but I'm pretty sure this only makes that better.
This makes it easier to control what snap points you are aiming for
without accidentally activating objects just by mousing near them
on the way to somewhere else.
When working near snap anchors, which come and go
rapidly, it's often useful to see what snaps have been
calculated. Add an advanced config to show these
(EnableSnapAnchorsDebug) on an overlay layer.
With more polish this could be a hotkey or something.
This is a pretty major rework of the snapping system.
The GRID_HELPERs now have a separate CONSTRUCTION_MANAGER
which handles some of the state involving "construction
geometry".
This is fed with 'extended' geometry (e.g. "infinite" lines from
segments) for use in generating things like intersection points.
It also handles adding this geoemtry to a GAL view item
(CONSTRUCTION_GEOM) for display to the user.
The process is:
* A TOOL creates a GRID_HELPER
* Optionally, it pre-loads a "persistent" batch of construction
geometry (e.g. for an item's original position)
* The grid helper finds useful snap 'anchors' as before, including
those involving the construction items.
* Other items on the board can be 'activated' by snapping to one
of their main points. Then, if it has construction geometry,
it will be added to the display. At most 2 items of this kind of
geometry are shown, plus the original item, to reduce avoid
too much clutter.
The dashed snap lines state machine is also handled in the
CONSTRUCTION_MANAGER and displayed in the CONSTRUCTION_GEOM item.
Includes:
- Fix GAL to draw closed polygons in eeschema
- Add functionality to eeschema to draw arbitary polygons
- Update polygon item previews to have customisable edge colour
- Add new SCH_RULE_AREA class, derived from a poly SCH_SHAPE
- Add SCH_RULE_AREA to paint and plot methods
- Add new rule area color preference to themes
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.

The automatic wire tool was not working in the gridless mode because the
grid snapping on/off logic present in `EE_GRID_HELPER`, based on the
value of `m_enableGrid`, was not taking into account that another check,
but for the global KiCad setting, would be performed in the `Align()`
method, which is inherited from `GRID_HELPER`.
I've modified all tests of `m_enableGrid` value to also take the global
setting into account, and moved checks for it to `Align()` method, as
it's more consistent this way.
I've also removed an override of the `Align()` method in the
`PCB_GRID_HELPER` class, as it was made redundant by my changes.

In particular, allow grid positions to override line snapping if
they're a better match (and do this independently on x and y axes).
We already allow a nearer anchor to override, but that should be
based on a cartesian distance rather than independent axes.
