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
Probably this should be replaced with a less error-prone
approach. Right now the LSET -> BASE_SET system is risky
because it is converting a signed enum (PCB_LAYER_ID) to
a size_t in all the underlying operations.

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
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.
New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).

This changes the file format. All previous copper layers that had a user
defined name are forced back to the canonical name and the user defined
name is stored as an optional quoted string in the layer definition and
only used for UI and plotting purposes. All copper object layer names
are now the canonical name for internal file use.
ADDED: Nine new user definable non-copper layers that can be optionally
added to the board layer stack.
CHANGED: All board layers can now be renamed by the user.
CHANGED: User defined layer names can now contain space characters.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1969
LayerName() can now be called to get the default, translatable name
for any board layer. LSET::Name() is used for the untranslated
names required for parsing board files.
