Following changes to the `A.NetClass == '<netclass>'` semantics to
match on exact netclass name OR any constituent netclass names, we
can have conditions where constituent netclass constraints match
before the composite netclass constraints in the DRC engine. This
adds the functionality to match on the exact full netclass name, and
modifies the implicit netclass DRC rules to use this function in
their rule condition.

(cherry picked from commit c25264528c)
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
- 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')
- Adds Component Class field to SCH_DIRECTIVE_LABEL
- Adds SCH_SYMBOLs to SCH_RULE_AREA item lists
- SCH_SYMBOLs resolve Component Class directives
- Netlist exporter / importer handles Component Class names
- Adds DRC expressions and functions
- Adds QA check for component class netlist export
When working in high contrast mode, we want to be able to select a
footprint with only elements in, e.g. silk and fab layers.
The previous design for footprint IsOnLayer had one behavior of every
other element and a different behavior for footprints. This leads to
multiple bugs as new features use the overloaded IsOnLayer expecting it
to report if the element exists on a layer or not.
For footprints, we need a different routine to determine whether or not
to select the footprint when clicking on it. IsOnLayer will report if
the footprint has any elements on a specific layer but we don't want to
use the bbox for a hittest because large footprints with through hole
pads will exist on every layer and have an enormous bbox. Instead, we
filter footprints based on the hittest of each element. This behaves in
a more logical fashion, allowing you to select a footprint by clicking
on a visible element of that footprint.
