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
- "Fill all vias" option disables the cut in copper layers which is
important to speed up EM simulations.
- "Cut vias in board body" enables cutting even if copper layer export
is disabled, which is useful if you're using vias as mounting holes.

Like the DSNLEXER header, this has visibility in over 700
files, whereas well under half actually use any of it
(quite a bit, but not all, of it actually via DSNLEXER)
Many places already forward-declare the OUTPUTFORMATTER type,
by doing that for the others, it still possible to use the
non-IO methods without having to see richio.h.
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

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.
F_Cu = 0
B_Cu = 2
Remaining internal copper layers are even and incrementing
Non-copper layers are odd and incrementing.
This means that we can no longer do things like:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer = F_Cu; layer <= B_Cu; ++layer)
Instead, we have the class LAYER_RANGE:
for( PCB_LAYER_ID layer : LAYER_RANGE( F_Cu, B_Cu) )
Similarly, gt/lt tests should not refer to the integer value of the
layer. We have functions such as IsCopperLayer to test whether a layer
is copper or not.
When using the connectivity RTree, the third dimension is layer, so we
provide B_Cu with the special INT_MAX value, ensuring that elements
between F_Cu and B_Cu will be identified. There is a new, special
function GetBoardLayer() for interfacing with CN_ITEMS
Similarly, PNS layers remain unchanged and sequential. A set of
interface functions is provided to map PNS layers to Board layers and
back. This allows the PNS_LAYER_RANGE to function as expected
* do not try to load vrml files for file formats that do not use them
* more tolerant test for step file: search header using up to 3 first lines
instead of only the first line
* dialog export: ensure the file ext is synchronized with the file format
the first time the dialog is opened
* more info messages: now a message is printed if the actual file format of
a 3D file is not recognized
Also removes the plot-fp-refs, plot-fp-values and
plot fp-text overrides from the GUI, but leaves
them as job arguments.
(Note that the job arguments also separate out
sketching DNP graphics and plotting the 'X', which
the GUI does not.)
