Skip vias are vias that are flashed on their start and end layers but
have no annular rings on the interior layers and do not connect to zones
in those layers
You can now select Annular ring type "Start and end layers only". This
will prevent annular ring flashing on intermediate layers and zones
fills will provide clearance. You can still connect tracks to
intermediate layers but preventing that will fall to the designer

Also convert hatched fills to solid for solder masks.
Also give track solder masks their specified
expansion when exporting to STEP.
Also implement solder masks for shapes when
exporting to STEP.
- Adds time and delay units
- Adds time domain tuning parameters entry and storage
- Adds pad-to-die delay property
- Adds time domain parameter interface for length / delay calculations
- Adds unit tracking for numerical constants through LIBEVAL
- Will need future work to truly propagate through binary expressions
- Adds time domain tuning to meander placers
- Adds time delay display to net inspector panel
- Modifies DRC to handle time domain constraints
There are two netclass name methods, which previously were not
obvious in their uses. These have been renamed to now have:
GetName() : Used for internal or tooling (e.g. netlist export) usage
GetHumanReadableName() : Used for display to users (e.g. in infobars)
Fixing the previous unclear naming will result in fewer bugs
when users start using the multiple netclass functionality, as
the incorrect usage had started creeping in to new code. Also this
will help authors of new code select the correct name method.
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.
Saves a mishmash of local HIDE/SHOW defs along with various literals.
Also provide a function that computes the scale at which a given
IU size becomes (notionally) a certain size on screen. While this
is a simple division, it's a bit opaque in terms of meaning.
Also it means the divide by zero case can be more universally
defended-against, which has traditionally been a bug opportunity.
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
When an arc has a very small curvature, we should not waste time with
the arc collision mode and instead just use the segment collision as it
is effectively the same result

This tidies up quite a performance hit on layer change
caused by repainting vias, pads and tracks for their
clearances.
Instead, on a layer change, just disable any old clearance
layer and enable the new one (if any).

The display in the properties manager for arc tracks
was wrong. Implement a set of Get/SetStartX/Y functions
for the traces, to match the End functions.
This is needed because PCB_ARC overrides GetPosition
to return the arc center, not the start position (whereas
PCB_TRACK does return the start for GetPosition)
