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
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
Added Distance(VECTOR2) function that returns a double. Removed
superfluous EuclideanNorm, GetLineLength, integer constructor for
EDA_ANGLE (this promotes to double in the CTOR), DistanceLinePoint and
HitTestPoints
Also extended the size for arc calculations that get distances to center
points to avoid overflow
This was a crude hack that appends the library URN ordinal to the name of
the footprint so that it can be correctly looked up by the "element" node.
The Eagle XML DTD does not make it clear how the URN "ASSET_ID" and
"VERSION" are used to look up the appropriate "ASSET_TYPE" so this is a
best guess and seems to work correctly.
The inferred edge clearance dialog had to be disabled when importing third
party boards because on GTK (and possibly other platforms) the dialog would
completely hang KiCad preventing the imported board and possible schematic
from being saved.
