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

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
We are derived from std::vector now. We don't need our own prima donna
increment and dereference overload as these just create bloat and
non-standard coding practices
Includes:
- Fix GAL to draw closed polygons in eeschema
- Add functionality to eeschema to draw arbitary polygons
- Update polygon item previews to have customisable edge colour
- Add new SCH_RULE_AREA class, derived from a poly SCH_SHAPE
- Add SCH_RULE_AREA to paint and plot methods
- Add new rule area color preference to themes
C++20 under MSVC does not like seeing enum values between two enums getting operated on.
static cast to int fixes it for what we are trying to do anyway

Add dedicated UI rendering layers
Switch to screen-space rendering to avoid blurriness
Fix a bug in OpenGL GAL that causes layer
ordering to be broken when using Scale
Fix some issues with VIEW_GROUP layer ordering
This selection improvement feature is hidden behind the advanced
configuration key "PcbSelectionVisibilityRatio". It is turned off (1.0)
by default. Value values are from 0.0 to less that 1.0. From testing,
using a value between 0.1 and 0.3 produces the best results.
This fix uses normal alpha blending described in the link below. The
current design only uses the alpha of the object's color. It could be
improved by doing a full color alpha blending but using the color alpha
alone seems to result in satisfactory results.

The old bottom to top layer stack up sequence from back to front layer was
only used for plotting so it was renamed appropriately. This will be used
for future board object select disambiguation improvements.
We only need one bottom to top layer sequence definition.
Plot a sequence of layer IDs (LSEQ) in the order of the sequence.
Add helper method to layer set (LSET) to create a sequence of layer IDs
using another sequence for ordering.
When building the connectivity database, we should not be using the
connectivity to check for shapes.
To make this deterministic, we introduce two flags (ALWAYS_FLASH and
NEVER_FLASH) that are used with connectivity building to determine
whether a pad is flashed for connectivity or not. ZONE <-> PAD/VIA
connectivity will be checked with ALWAYS_FLASHED and all other
connectivity will be checked with NEVER_FLASHED if they are marked for
potential annular ring removal. If they are not marked for removal,
they will be checked ALWAYS_FLASHED.

ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
