Per ASME-Y14.5-2009 section 2.3, trailing zeroes are not used for metric
dimensions, which are probably most common. Unit suffixes are also not
used in every dimension when specified as a global default, which is
also common (usally in the fab notes).
This appears to be common defaults in other EDA software. This is also
compatible with ISO 129-1 section 4.3.
In Pcbnew, this is only the default until the user sets it in the board
settings, so existing designs will always keep their set values.
Currently, the used layers passed from parseLayers() do not include
mandatory layers if they are missing in the loaded board file.
To fix this, we can manually add the mandatory layers to ensure they
are always enabled.

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
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8182
With the refactor of the bezier lib, we no longer base the curve on the
number of points but rather on the error allowed. The parameter was
vestigal and had no effect on output
CHANGED: Automatically selects the right pad type for the footprint type. Resets the pad properties if the master pad properties do not match the pad type.

This one for symbol <-> footprint. (Original was for
lib footprint <-> board footprint.)
Also fixes a major bug in DRC where we bail out of parity
checking if DRCE_MISSING_FOOTPRINT is set to ignore (or
overflows).

Moves apply defaults settings to Board Setup (where they were
duplicated anyway due to an earlier botched merge).
Modifies the apply-to-graphics algorithm to skip copper shapes.
Modifies DRC library check to skip STROKE_PARAMS for non-copper
shapes.
Also moves the settings from Board Setup to Preferences > PCB Editor.
Also collapses Track Drag Mode from radio buttons to a choice menu to
save space and allow it to be with the other editing action modes.
Change teardrop generation to rely more heavily on BOARD_CONNECTIVITY
for improved performance.
Add updating of teardrops on BOARD_COMMIT::Push().
Also converts m_CopperItemRTreeCache to std::shared_ptr.
We don't copy it around anyway, and having to create a new set
of std::unique_ptr's for each operation is likely to be more
expensive than std::shared_ptr's overhead.
pad of a given number.
Also improves other DRC logic to tighten up the net-tie rules now that
we know which pads are allowed to short with which other pads.
Also removes the "Overlapping pads" DRC violation now that we know
whether or not overlapping pads in a net-tie footprint constitute a
short.
