This is a zero-dimensional object that can be used for snapping
and documentation of useful, but non-physical features on a
board or footprint. They do not correspond to any physical
output in exports or plots.
Points do have a "size", but this is a graphical property only
and determines how large they are drawn on the board.
They also have a layer, which allows them to be selected and
made visible according to layer filters.

Footprints can now have a custom stackup. This means that they specify
an exact number of copper layers and the layers map 1:1 to board layers.
If the board doesn't contain that layer, the element just doesn't
show. We could make this a DRC check later on.
If there is no stackup, the behavior is the current default: a rule area
the In1 layer "expands" to all Inner layers.

Sometimes, you don't want those 45° corners in your nice, clean zones.
This adds an additional mode that can be selected, cycling through
free-angle, 45° angle and 90° angle constraints
- Move under rectangular selection
- Simplify available modes
- Link to new icon
- Make selection state persistent
- Allow additive/subtractive with KiCad configurable keys
Makes all canvases obey the same rendering parameter. Also keeps the
canvas selection with the anti-alias selection, which makes logical
sense. Reduce the antialias selection to a single choice rather than
two different choices for different canvases
This isn't the best possible UX (having the various modes immediately
available as graphical affordances would be best). But it's somewhat
discoverable, and at least shows the hotkey, if any, and it in the
context menu and not hidden in a toolbar right click menu. So if the
affordance-type system doesn't make it for v10, this will at least
provide something in eeschema.
This is (now) fairly easy to slot into the PCB point editor
framework.
In this mode, the endpoints adjust only the endpoints on the existing
radius. Radius can ve changed with the midpoint point. The center
point moves the arc, as in the "keep center/adjust radius and angle"
mode.

After opening the PANEL_FP_EDITOR_FIELD_DEFAULTS panel, due to a null pointer
when no FP loaded in FP editor, closing the dialog by OK button crashed Pcbnew.
(It was on Footprint Defaults, which didn't make
any sense. Probably just ended up there because
there was similar code there.)
Also fixed a bug with accepting the dialog with
a grid cell editor open.
Also fixed a bug where the number of copper layers
would get set back to 2.
Also fixed a bug where the layer names weren't
getting updated in the Appearances tab.
1) Don't set user layer count right after we've
cleared the enabled user layers. (It will
always be 0 by then.)
2) Allow un-enabled layers in some layer
selectors. (Currently this is just the private
layers selector.
3) Reset the appearance panel layers each time a
footprint is loaded. Also, auto-enable any user
layers that the footprint already has.
4) Footprint editor layer visibility is stored in
the view, not in the boars (as is usual).

* Manage the settings using the settings manager for better lifetimes
* Better architect the internals and JSON to make it easier to identify
the various tool types
Footprints in orgs have standard naming. We need to allow designers to
keep their standard namings outside of boards where they are fixed.
This belongs in the preferences as a set-once for local standards
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
Useful both as a confusion reduction measure when confronted with the
inforbar message, and also useful when you pressed Ctrl+E, not
Ctrl+Shift+E.
Also bind Ctrl+Shift+E in the editor to perform this action
(again, useful when you used the wrong hotkey).
When creating a footprint from the main menu, as opposed to from
a library context menu, there is no library set until it's saved
(the user will get a save-as dialog to set the library at that
point). So lack of a library doesn't mean 'read-only'.
So, don't show the 'read only library' warning in that case -
the user will not be able to save the footprint "in place" as there is
no "place" yet, but it's a reasonable and consistent workflow (like
editing a File->New'd file in a text editor).
