This was already possible by setting a 0-sized step, but that's
a bit clunky - provide an obvious way to do it via a
"do/do not renumber at all" checkbox.

Otherwise, when you change the axis numbering type, and don't update
the start offset string, you get an error on dialog save. Instead,
if the number isn't valid, change it to a valid one.
This involves recasting the array tool from the slightly
eccentric ARRAY_CREATOR class into a full-blown TOOL, which
allows it to usefuly store state asd the dialog hides. This
is modelled on the POSITION_RELATIVE_TOOL strategy.
The by-radius-and-point mechanism is removed entirely,
as it's very fiddly and hard to describe in the UI,
and what you probably really want to do is get your
item onto the circle with tools like "move exact",
and then define the circle origin (now using the picker
tool)

ADDED: Option to assign unique reference designators to footprints
created with the array tool [pcbnew]
CHANGED: Array creator dialog no longer displays pad numbering properties
when in the board editor. [pcbnew]
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2354
The numbering axis priority (h then v or v then h), and alternate
reversing are not actually numbering parameters, they are part of
the geometry of the array (the items are physically in different
orders).
So enable these options, even when numbering is disabled.
Also fix broken logic about when numbering scheme is enabled
(it still applies even if the numbering offset is fixed.)
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
* No initial copied object changed (this was a serious bug to modify these objects. Previous version modified references and other texts using a very stupid algorithm).
It also fixes bug 1549231
* only new pads are numbered (therefore renumbering is used only in footprint editor)
* remove not working and useless feature in circular array: now only use number for pads (others options using alphabetical letters are removed: did not work corectly, and were useless)
* a more clear option is used to choose if the pads are numbered from a choosen value, or from the first avaible value
* Adding a warning messsage if a parameter is incorrect.
* Clean up formatting and make OK button the default in the array dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the move exact dialog.
* Change the directory picker control from wxGenericDirCtrl to wxDirPickerCtrl so the native
directory picker dialog is used to select the directory in the select pretty library path dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the select pretty library path dialog.
Text arrays can now use "%s" as a placeholder to be substituted with the array index.
Also expand menu options for move exact, arrays and duplicate.
Minor fixes for arrays - use proper unit parsing, add numbering start for circular arrays
Add circle radius indicator to array dialogue
