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.
Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

-Allow changing length tuning settings before tuning has been started
-Do not exit out of the length tuning tool after each placement
-Keep specified settings between pattern placements

This also changes the interface on the GENERATOR classes
to no longer take a shared_ptr - these methods are synchronous
and don't store (shared) ownership of the EDIT_POINTs.
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
TOOL_MENU::m_menu was unconditionally created by the TOOL_INTERACTIVE constructor, resulting in crashes if
we wanted to run the TOOLs in headless mode, e.g. in unit tests. This commits makes
the creation of the menu object dependent on Pgm::IsGui().
Also fixes length preview when hovering over joints.
Also prevents asserts when hovering over arcs.
Also prevents adding a tuning pattern on other tuning pattern.
(cherry picked from commit 711c6141a8)
Also fixes a bug in the router where the target length would
get trashed if set to maxLongLongInt. (We'd add the default
tolerance to it sending it negative.)
