It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

We auto-size them in the code and doing both produces nothing but a
mess.
Also improves the auto-sizing for the layers drop-down (particularly
needed for the new, somewhat longer, layer names.

Also cleans up some user strings to try and make this clearer, and to help
translators make it clearer (neither of which is easy to do).

A note to developers, please do not set the minimum and/or size of bitmap
buttons. It causes bitmaps to get clipped using GTK on Linux. If the
bitmap button size is not acceptable, then supply an appropriately sized
bitmap rather than attempt to force the wxWidgets sizing mechanism to do
what you want. This almost always causes platform differences that do
not work well.
Includes improvements to Update PCB from Schematic dialog and
corresponding changes to Symbol Properties, Sheet Properties and
Footprint Properties.

Disable the text update event for the orientation cutom value field before
updating it when the radio buttons are selected. This allows to use the
conventional EVT_TEXT handler, rather than KEYDOWN, which has two effects:
* Tabbing though the dialog no longer sets custom orientation
* Click-driven clipboard actions trigger the update correctly.
Introduce a helper function in validators.h to assist in updating
validated fields without triggering further events.

Update 3D model panel on initial dialog load to reflect the current
visibility state of the 3D model.
Fix a few minor footprint properties dialog spacing issues.

Fix wxGrid column minimal widths on Windows in dialogs (just fixing the size is not enough).
WX_GRID::GetVisibleWidth(): make width bigger for labels, because they usually use a bold font.
(However, the fix is just a workaround: a better code is welcome)
