Context-specific grids for Pcbnew

[Michael Kavanagh]

Spawned from https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1785881

Other EDA packages have multiple configurable grids that switch automatically depending on what is being moved/what tool you're using, e.g.
 - Part (footprints): Primary and secondary, accessible through a modifier key, mounting type or pin count threshold etc.
 - Route: separate tracks and vias grids.
 - Other: Drawing (graphics, zones?), jumpers and test points etc.

Each one configurable with their own rotation and offset from the origin.

It would be nice if these could be stored in the project and imported from other projects.

IIRC Altium only differentiates between components and non-components, but they have a priority based system [1].

A user definable grid system seems like a pretty useful tool. We need to define this before we implement anything.
