Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

Using std::any from C++17 allows for proper type handling in the
parameter field, removing the need for casting to void* and then casting
the void* to the desired type.
This is used to provide menu entries that allows cancellation of
interactive drawing and routing tools without needing the keyboard.
It is provided in the drawing tools and the router tool.
The cancel event doesn't have any new functionality (e.g. track rip-up
for the PNS router - lp:1448460), this just adds it to the menu, where
it behaves the same as an Escape keypress.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
This makes "rotate" into two separate TOOL_EVENTs, which each have a
"multiplier" parameter.
Also added is a namespace for 'free functions' that use TOOL_EVENT
public interfaces (perhaps with other inputs too) to centralise some
decision-making and calculations.
