Break the most expensive header include chains that contaminate the
largest number of translation units
New lightweight headers for extractdded types:
font_metrics.h, mouse_drag_action.h, board_project_settings_params.h,
common_settings_internals.h, wx_infobar_message_type.h,
zone_layer_properties_grid.h
Environment variable expansion in paths now receives the active project
context instead of null. This enables project-specific variables to
resolve correctly in output directories and configuration paths.
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
Since the always plot the edge cuts layer option was deprecate,
the ability to plot multiple board layers was exposed through the
PLOT_CONTROLLER object.
Added the interactive plot information which was overlooked during
version 7 development.

EDA_ITEMs are responsible for giving their parent a crack at it if
they failed to resolve it. This recurses all the way up to the schematic/
board, and then to the project.
Cross-reference handling is also move to the EDA_ITEMs. It must be done
before bubbling up so that we don't end up in loops. (The aDepth parameter
will break the loop, but without having done anything useful.)

CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
ADDED new rectangle graphics tool for PCBNew and Footprint Editor.
Also adds rectangle tool to both Footprint Editor and PCBNew Place
menus.
The Aux Origin tool can come back once we have multi-select toobar
buttons.
Also collapses an unnecessary level out of the auxOrigin and gridOrigin
settings.

Also use "AssemblyDrawing" attribute for fabrication layers in Pcbnew (actually assembly layers)
This is due some changes in recent Gerber file format.
TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top,Signal is now TF.FileFunction,Copper,L1,Top
This param is not useful, and probably never correctly set by users, because is is not used by Pcbnew.
(It is used only for dsn export)
