This adds the ability to export the pin table content to a CSV file
or the clipboard as CSV, then re-import it from CSV or TSV. This allows:
* to round-trip pin table data via a spreadsheet program, so that the pin
data can be manipulated in a richer/more familiar editing environment
* an import method to bring in tabular pin data from other formats
"semi-automatically", without having to write a full-blown symbol generator.

This is (now) fairly easy to slot into the PCB point editor
framework.
In this mode, the endpoints adjust only the endpoints on the existing
radius. Radius can ve changed with the midpoint point. The center
point moves the arc, as in the "keep center/adjust radius and angle"
mode.

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

While it's still session-limited, this means you don't have
to restart to get your locking ability back.
Finer-grained locking enablement probably makes better long-term
sense, but this at least prevents "gun shyness" about a setting
you can't turn off again easily.
Also it gets a bool's-worth of application configuration state
out of a dialog (it was a static).
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.
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.
(Conversion was upside-down.)
Also fixes bugs with rotation angle increment not getting units
set and with a 0 footprint editor value overwriting a non-zero
pcb editor value (or vice versa).
This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
Keeping them in base_units means that we can't introduce
any dependence on these functions to anything that needs to
compile without one of the unit defines (EESCHEMA, PCBNEW, etc)
It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)
