This is a zero-dimensional object that can be used for snapping
and documentation of useful, but non-physical features on a
board or footprint. They do not correspond to any physical
output in exports or plots.
Points do have a "size", but this is a graphical property only
and determines how large they are drawn on the board.
They also have a layer, which allows them to be selected and
made visible according to layer filters.

Footprints can now have a custom stackup. This means that they specify
an exact number of copper layers and the layers map 1:1 to board layers.
If the board doesn't contain that layer, the element just doesn't
show. We could make this a DRC check later on.
If there is no stackup, the behavior is the current default: a rule area
the In1 layer "expands" to all Inner layers.

ADDED: description of jumper groups for PCB Footprint
Properties dialog.
Also untangles the internal storage of the DRC exclusion
flags from the fabrication attributes.
Also removes allow-missing-courtyards from PCB footprint
properties because you can't edit the courtyards there
so it makes no sense.
(Which means the library parity checker also doesn't
need to check it as it will always match the library.)
This also removes the GROUP/UNGROUP-specific undo actions.
This also fixes a bunch of undo bugs when duplicating
group members, creating pins, etc.
This also fixes some undo bugs when dividing wires etc.
This also fixes some bugs with new sch items not
being created within an entered group.
Make the VIEW* parameter const. Since PCB_TEXT does a null-check,
it's not very clear if this can ever be null (and if it is,
why don't the other VIEW_ITEMs check?), so don't make them
all references too at this time.
Also dereference a few pointers a bit earlier to make non-null
promises sooner rather than later.
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
Items that are part of net ties (pads and copper shapes that connect to
them) should allow connections from any net in the tie. This prevents
clearance errors from being generated for matched nets

This field was redundant (was generally set to the footprint's LIB_ID)
but also buggy (not guaranteed to contain the footprint's LIB_ID)
and confusing (not a way to change the footprint's LIB_ID).
- Moves functionality to FOOTPRINT class from BOARD_ITEM
- Renames DRC property from ComponentClass to Component_Class
- Adds DRC checks QA for A.Component_Class and a.hasComponentClass('x')
CHANGED: PCB file format now supports saving/loading complex padstacks
CHANGED: PTH pads are now rendered per copper layer in the copper color;
the PTH pad color is no longer used.
ADDED: support for importing complex pad stacks from Altium PCBs
Enforce padstack-aware access to pad properties across KiCad
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8182
There was a gentle mish-mash of booleans, some with
true being left/right and some up/down, and some functions that
can flip in both axes (which is never actually done, and doesn't
really make geometric sense).
Replace all this with the FLIP_DIRECTION enum class, which makes
the intention completely unambiguous.
This also then allows a small scattering of simplifications,
because everything takes the same type and you don't have to
fiddle booleans to fit.
Schematics, symbols, boards and footprints all get the ability to store
files inside their file structures. File lookups now have a
kicad-embed:// URI to allow various parts of KiCad to refer to files
stored in this manner.
kicad-embed://datasheet.pdf references the file named "datasheet.pdf"
embedded in the document. Embeds are allowed in schematics, boards,
symbols and footprints. Currently supported embeddings are Datasheets,
3D Models and drawingsheets

This avoids forcing the field to the footprint name in the
library editor, which gets in the way. This doesn't specifically
inhibit the use of the field, and doesn't interfere with fields
users may have set manually (it can be cleared manually if
wished).
Removing the footprint field entirely either from all footprints
or from footprints in fpedit is quite a bit more invasive to
existing designs.
(cherry picked from commit 44b0ef64e8)
Cherry-picking forward to master to at least keep things consistent
for the time being.

The DRC annular ring width test failed to take into account that a pad
could be contained inside another pad having the same number (thermal
vias for example) which changes the effective annular width of the pad
contained within another pad. A test was added to calculate the effective
annular ring width in this case.
Added some PNS log viewer helper and test code to the PNS playground QA
utility for testing the effective pad annular width code.

The courtyards are referenced by multiple calls and will be rebuilt on
command. If this happens during zone fill (because the board timestamp
has incremented since the start) multiple threads may generate the cache
at the same time, leaving one with an invalid pointer
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/17791
C++20 added new reverse and rewritten candidates. This can confuse the compiler because it'll test both A==B and B==A for overloads.
Because we were defining parent class equality overloads, A==B and B==A was considered ambigious due to both being compatible in casting.
So we needed to add explicit child class equality operator overloads
