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
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)

The current module cannot be queried for existing pads as we
add them (because we never commit, until we finish the whole array).
Instead, pre-gather the names and check as we add, skipping any existing
names.
Note: this will not prevent arrays becoming "mis-ordered", but there
is not a lot we can do to prevent all possible errors.

The same principle could be used to skip existing ref-des'es on PCBs.
