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
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8182
With the refactor of the bezier lib, we no longer base the curve on the
number of points but rather on the error allowed. The parameter was
vestigal and had no effect on output
Add direct handling of quadratic beziers to save compute time and number
of points. Update cubic interpolation to reduce number of points
generated for a given smoothness
Cache data on open and used cached data to avoid multiple re-calcs
Remove minimum line length and number of segments and replace with
standard max error level. Allows us to specify the tolerance of bezier
interpolation
Previously, a reference point to calculate teardrop length was calculated
using a track segment. It can create significant position error with track arcs.
Now a arc is used to find this reference point.
Change teardrop generation to rely more heavily on BOARD_CONNECTIVITY
for improved performance.
Add updating of teardrops on BOARD_COMMIT::Push().
Also converts m_CopperItemRTreeCache to std::shared_ptr.
We don't copy it around anyway, and having to create a new set
of std::unique_ptr's for each operation is likely to be more
expensive than std::shared_ptr's overhead.
Also add a better handling of connected tracks when searching for a track connected
to a too short track to create a teardrop, search was stopped to Y connections.
Now the selected track is the longest of these 2 candidates.

- Teardrops have now just their shape filled (much faster than a full refill)
- The full zone refill is no longer made after recreating teardrops.
- this is more compatible with the option Auto-refill zones"
Fixes#11106https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11106
- do not allow smoothing outlines: outlines are already optimized.
- do not allow settings incompatible with teardrop area (grid, thermal relief)
- DIALOG_COPPER_ZONE: export zone settings to similar zones only.
