Bug Description

In Legacy, when you locate a component (e.g. by using find dialog), it centers the display on the component but does not zoom.

In GAL, it centers and zooms, and the zoom level is not controllable.

We should add a checkbox to the find dialog that toggles whether or not to zoom (and maybe one that toggles whether or not to center, too)

(reported on forum, https://forum.kicad.info/t/zoom-after-find/5394 )
