Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Introduces some updates to the inspector, and a number of bug fixes:
- Correctly handles changes in board stackup
- Correctly handles unit change events
- Correctly handles language change events
- All layout / panel settings are stored to the project settings
- Retains ability to create net report
- Simple filter searches on net name and net class name (stored in settings)
- Allows hide / show of columns (stored in settings)
- Grouping by netclass (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net name (stored in settings)
- Optional filtering by net class (stored in settings)
- Custom grouping by net name match
Also makes the strings match the GUI better so people will know where
to find them later.
And fixes a couple of ERC items that referred to Board Setup (oops).
This standardizes selection tools in SELECTION_TOOL class to be able to
handle a long-click as asking for a non-heuristic disambiguation menu.

6.0 will be in the field for a long time, and the better the debugging
tools we have available the less costly it will be to maintain.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8961
CHANGED: Highlight net tool changed to highlight display toggle; moved to left toolbar
CHANGED: Multi-net highlight is now accessible when using the highlight net action
ADDED: Highlight Net and Clear Highlight actions to Net Tools context menu
ADDED: Default hotkey (Ctrl+`) for toggling net highlighting
The current and previous net highlight state are now stored and can be toggled
on or off with an action (no hotkey by default).
Highlight is now treated as a persistent state rather than a tool that is entered,
meaning there is no longer a special tool to enter in order to highlight nets.
Highlighting can be controlled while any other tool is active using the hotkeys
or context menu on a net object.
Tweak the icons for highlight net and layer display mode to better disambiguate them.

The last remaining threaded operation in dynamic ratsnest was the
recalculation of the dynamic connectivity map. Because we do not
require any of the extra features of the connectivity map, we can get
away with a lightweight move of the anchors to update the ratsnest. The
resulting connectivity tree is not valid but it is not needed for the
ratsnest, which only needs a list of nets/anchors.
List of hidden nets stored in project local settings
Hide/Show actions in context menu only for now, will
add them to some more GUI places soon.

avoid potential performance issues when the dialog is still listening to
the board updates and refreshing its data and view structures.
it seems useful to keep the settings of the dialog across dialog
open-close cycles.
Also fixes some interactivity issues in the microwave tools around
single-click tools that have initial properties dialogs. Those
need to act kind of like a hybrid between single-click and two-click
tools.

- added TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions()
- made protected and moved TOOL_BASE::setTransitions() to TOOL_INTERACTIVE
- TOOL_MANAGER calls TOOL_INTERACTIVE::resetTransitions() instead of
setTransitions()
This adds the microwave tools to GAL in Pcbnew as a new tool:
MICROWAVE_TOOL.
Some new preview items are introduced to support this:
* TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER for managing construction of two-point
geometries, such as that used to construct the inductor.
* CENTRELINE_RECT_ITEM a preview item to draw ractangle with a given
aspect ratio along a line (specified using a TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER)
PCB_TOOL gets a generic event loops which should be useful for more
than just microwave tools:
* doInteractiveItemPlacement() - handles event loops that wait for a
click, create an item on click and then allow moving it
around/flipping, etc.

The apply settings and push settings options now take account of the
validity of the global pad settings when deciding whether to show or
not.
Global pad push now requires a source pad and doesn't push from the
global pad setting when there is no selection.
The whole submenu is hidden when there are no enabled items.
