implement fillet tool

[zakhar nasimov]

Currently kicad hos no means aside from the arc tool to add rounded edges to shapes. It leaves the necessity to import autocad files or other objects to obtain the round edges. The fillet tool is found in any mainstream cad package and its currently not featured in kicad. Its used by selecting 2 joined objects and prompts a user for radius for the fillet.

Here is a reference http://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-6ABCFEC5-9EE4-48EB-AE2C-45042C6591D2 the shapes in the reference video can be the board outline in pcbnew or other non rounded object.

It's not by any means necessary to use external tools. It's pretty easy and quick to create rounded corners with arcs, especially with version 5.1. I have planned to record some videos about drawing graphics in KiCad which would show how easy it is. I woulnd't of course oppose having a fillet tool but I don't feel any need for it.

The fillet tool is not compromised by the utility of the arc tool. They are not meant to serve the same roles.
