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

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
- prerequisite for holes as first class objects code
- introduced the OWNABLE_ITEM interface that defines the owning container (NODE/other ITEM/ITEM_SET)
- simplified the ITEM_SET interface
- constified a lot of APIs (ownership/JOINT management) as a side effect
Rebased and cleaned up by Jeff Young <jeff@rokeby.ie> 5 April 2023
- some STL cover types removed
- PNS_ITEMSET now keeps ownership info (does not rely on PNS_ITEM::Owner(), avoiding the risk of dangling pointers)
- fixed vias losing connected traces when dragging in mark obstacles mode
- fixed rare segfault when board item returned null netclass
- re-worked PNS_LINE_PLACER and PNS_ROUTER classes a bit, removing duplicate class members
- cleaned up Andrew's blind/buried via fixes
- fixed 'custom via width' dialog bug updating the width even when closed/cancelled
- fixed incorrect radius of drawn microvias
