This is a zero-dimensional object that can be used for snapping
and documentation of useful, but non-physical features on a
board or footprint. They do not correspond to any physical
output in exports or plots.
Points do have a "size", but this is a graphical property only
and determines how large they are drawn on the board.
They also have a layer, which allows them to be selected and
made visible according to layer filters.

Sometimes, you don't want those 45° corners in your nice, clean zones.
This adds an additional mode that can be selected, cycling through
free-angle, 45° angle and 90° angle constraints
- Move under rectangular selection
- Simplify available modes
- Link to new icon
- Make selection state persistent
- Allow additive/subtractive with KiCad configurable keys
ADDED: description of jumper groups for PCB Footprint
Properties dialog.
Also untangles the internal storage of the DRC exclusion
flags from the fabrication attributes.
Also removes allow-missing-courtyards from PCB footprint
properties because you can't edit the courtyards there
so it makes no sense.
(Which means the library parity checker also doesn't
need to check it as it will always match the library.)
This isn't the best possible UX (having the various modes immediately
available as graphical affordances would be best). But it's somewhat
discoverable, and at least shows the hotkey, if any, and it in the
context menu and not hidden in a toolbar right click menu. So if the
affordance-type system doesn't make it for v10, this will at least
provide something in eeschema.
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.

- Adds time and delay units
- Adds time domain tuning parameters entry and storage
- Adds pad-to-die delay property
- Adds time domain parameter interface for length / delay calculations
- Adds unit tracking for numerical constants through LIBEVAL
- Will need future work to truly propagate through binary expressions
- Adds time domain tuning to meander placers
- Adds time delay display to net inspector panel
- Modifies DRC to handle time domain constraints
* Manage the settings using the settings manager for better lifetimes
* Better architect the internals and JSON to make it easier to identify
the various tool types
