Bug Description

[Spun out from https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1825399. This is a confounding issue of that bug, but is not the root cause]

If two tracks cross, but not at right angles, the DRC error is reported wrongly. Moreover, the error location is wrong.

1) Have two nets (e.g. T1 and T2)
2) T2 has a horizontal trace
3) Cross it with a T1 trace at 45 degrees (or any non-right-angle)
4) Run DRC
5) See "two track ends too close", not "tracks crossing".
6) Also the marker is the end point of T2, not the crossing point.
