There is only a simplistic multi-net pattern expression
generator here (A|B|...) with a single prefix detected
rather than anything too fancy.

We now allow the user to specify which in the
New Library dialog.
Also retires the "Export power symbols too" dialog.
Also gives a bunch of file and library dialogs
more explicit titles.
Also removes separate code-paths for Export to
Library and Export to New Library. The regular
code path has a "New Library..." button now.

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
This field was redundant (was generally set to the footprint's LIB_ID)
but also buggy (not guaranteed to contain the footprint's LIB_ID)
and confusing (not a way to change the footprint's LIB_ID).
- Implements component classes for placement rule areas and multichannel tool
- Implements property inspector properties for rule areas
- Fixes some zone member default initialisation issues
- Gates all multichannel-related imlpementation with existing adv config flag
- Removes rule area type enum, replaces with inference from keepout and
placement settings
This is confusing because the pads don't get a locked item shadow,
so it's hard to see what is inhibiting a footprint move if a pad got
locked.
Rather than implement the shadow, disable pad locking in pcbnew
(no locking exists in FP editor). Pad lock state isn't persisted
to the board file, so it's not a fully supported action, and it's
unlikely to be actively useful.

Like the DSNLEXER header, this has visibility in over 700
files, whereas well under half actually use any of it
(quite a bit, but not all, of it actually via DSNLEXER)
Many places already forward-declare the OUTPUTFORMATTER type,
by doing that for the others, it still possible to use the
non-IO methods without having to see richio.h.
There was a gentle mish-mash of booleans, some with
true being left/right and some up/down, and some functions that
can flip in both axes (which is never actually done, and doesn't
really make geometric sense).
Replace all this with the FLIP_DIRECTION enum class, which makes
the intention completely unambiguous.
This also then allows a small scattering of simplifications,
because everything takes the same type and you don't have to
fiddle booleans to fit.
ADDED: Add support in Pcbnew for exporting ODB++ files under Fabrication
Outputs, base on ODB++Design Format Specification (Release v8.1
Update 3 February 2021).
Note: There is still a lot of work to do if we will make the feature as
complete as the ODB++ spec. However, the current functionality's
completeness is already sufficient to cover general production
scenarios. I have compared the output results with Gerber files by
DFM tool and the accuracy at the graphic level should be able to
cover most usage scenarios. Additionally, I am very grateful to
the great open-source project Horizon EDA for giving me a lot of
inspiration in terms of ideas.
The feature can be enabled by adding "EnableODB=1" to the kicad_advanced
configuration file.

Also fixes grammar and capitalisation in a few tooltips.
Also standardises some terminology, such as
"Add" vs "Draw"/"Place" and "Assignment" vs "Association".

TOOL_MENU::m_menu was unconditionally created by the TOOL_INTERACTIVE constructor, resulting in crashes if
we wanted to run the TOOLs in headless mode, e.g. in unit tests. This commits makes
the creation of the menu object dependent on Pgm::IsGui().
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

Introduces some updates to the inspector, and a number of bug fixes:
- Correctly handles changes in board stackup
- Correctly handles unit change events
- Correctly handles language change events
- All layout / panel settings are stored to the project settings
- Retains ability to create net report
- Simple filter searches on net name and net class name (stored in settings)
- Allows hide / show of columns (stored in settings)
- Grouping by netclass (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net name (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net class (stored in settings)
- Custom grouping by net name match
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

- move place dimensions to a sub menu (they are not frequently used, and it
reduce the size of the place menu
- add reset drill origin, similar to reset grid origin.
Create 2 wrappers for it: DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER and
FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER_FRAME. The first now gets called from wxGrid
editors, text button editors (such as Change Footprints), etc.
Retire FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME_MODAL. FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME still
exists, but has very few uses at this point.
