Bug Description

Minor issue, but it would be nice if putting an NC flag on a part pin in eeschema would then propagate into pcbnew to modify the net names marked on the part pins there. E.g.:

Here, I've got 3 eeschema pins marked with nc flags: 1, 2 and 10. While not a huge issue, it would be nice in pcbnew, for those same pins to be marked with an NC prefix, or to simply be named NC rather than Net-(U2-Pad-[1/2/10]). It would help in keeping track of pins, especially on high pin count parts.

Another possible way could be "downlighting" the not connected pads to a less visible color (making an average between the background color and the pad color), just to see them "at a glance".
