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
We are derived from std::vector now. We don't need our own prima donna
increment and dereference overload as these just create bloat and
non-standard coding practices
Using a boolean argument just leads to a lot of trailing booleans in the
function calls and is not user friendly. Instead, introduce PostAction()
to send an action that runs after the coroutine (equivalent to passing
false or the default argument), and leave RunAction as the immediate
execution function.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
