1) Don't set user layer count right after we've
cleared the enabled user layers. (It will
always be 0 by then.)
2) Allow un-enabled layers in some layer
selectors. (Currently this is just the private
layers selector.
3) Reset the appearance panel layers each time a
footprint is loaded. Also, auto-enable any user
layers that the footprint already has.
4) Footprint editor layer visibility is stored in
the view, not in the boars (as is usual).

Footprints in orgs have standard naming. We need to allow designers to
keep their standard namings outside of boards where they are fixed.
This belongs in the preferences as a set-once for local standards
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
Per ASME-Y14.5-2009 section 2.3, trailing zeroes are not used for metric
dimensions, which are probably most common. Unit suffixes are also not
used in every dimension when specified as a global default, which is
also common (usally in the fab notes).
This appears to be common defaults in other EDA software. This is also
compatible with ISO 129-1 section 4.3.
In Pcbnew, this is only the default until the user sets it in the board
settings, so existing designs will always keep their set values.
Currently, the used layers passed from parseLayers() do not include
mandatory layers if they are missing in the loaded board file.
To fix this, we can manually add the mandatory layers to ensure they
are always enabled.

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
With the refactor of the bezier lib, we no longer base the curve on the
number of points but rather on the error allowed. The parameter was
vestigal and had no effect on output
CHANGED: Automatically selects the right pad type for the footprint type. Resets the pad properties if the master pad properties do not match the pad type.
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16563
This one for symbol <-> footprint. (Original was for
lib footprint <-> board footprint.)
Also fixes a major bug in DRC where we bail out of parity
checking if DRCE_MISSING_FOOTPRINT is set to ignore (or
overflows).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16671
Moves apply defaults settings to Board Setup (where they were
duplicated anyway due to an earlier botched merge).
Modifies the apply-to-graphics algorithm to skip copper shapes.
Modifies DRC library check to skip STROKE_PARAMS for non-copper
shapes.
Also moves the settings from Board Setup to Preferences > PCB Editor.
Also collapses Track Drag Mode from radio buttons to a choice menu to
save space and allow it to be with the other editing action modes.
