Layout is remembered for Schematic/Symbol Editors and Footprint Chooser frames until KiCad restarts
Also Added a new button toggle to show/hide the description panel with some new images too

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 the 'activeLayers' is a more restricted set of layers than
all visible layers. When high constrast mode is off, snaps should
be available for all visible layers, not just layers in the
'activeLayers' set.
This is similar to the check done in checkVisibility, but as
pads are multi-layer items, they have this check afterwards as
well.
Note - the All Layer/Active Layer Only filtering is handled elsewhere.
Pass things as unqiue_ptrs. I don't think there's that much
on the stack, but certainly addinig big enough chunks to the batches can
upset the coroutines.
Also reinstate a ClearDrawables which went AWOL.pick

These shouldn't be bad, and probably don't actually happen,
but they will act to clear extant construction lines for no
new shown items, so may as well be clear that they don't
do anything.
CHANGED: PCB file format now supports saving/loading complex padstacks
CHANGED: PTH pads are now rendered per copper layer in the copper color;
the PTH pad color is no longer used.
ADDED: support for importing complex pad stacks from Altium PCBs
Enforce padstack-aware access to pad properties across KiCad

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.
Makes it easier to reason about oval shapes in geometric terms.
For now, this isn't a SHAPE, but it could be (and it's a
fairly common primitive, so it could be useful, though the
obvious use (clearance) is equivalent to a SEG with a clearance,
which is already a function that exists.
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.
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
This allows to see what the current snap point is, which is useful when
zoomed in, or the point is like the corner of a rounded pad where it's
"in free space" and might not be immediately obvious.
(It's still leaking into BOARD_COMMIT and some other places, but at
least it no longer leaks into all the edit tools.)
Also fixes some bugs when moving/copying/pasting multiple selections
containing length-tuning patterns.
While ERROR_INSIDE was good for plotting, 3D generation, etc., it's
not good for generating router hulls.
Also reverts part of the change to always use polygons for PNS::SOLIDs. A single shape in a SHAPE_COMPOUND will be faster (and
more accurate).

Previously the snap points computed for oval pads didn't get all the
points correct. This breaks out the "find snap points for ovals"
into a function, reworks the logic, adds some tests.
Also adds "extremum points" when the oval isn't exactly H/V.
