Scriptable DRC plugins for pcbnew

Registered by Ed Johns

It would be cool to have the DRC checker run python plugin scripts as part of the drc check. Something like:

Read drc plugin classes
Add needed controls to DRC Control for each class found
Execute selected classes and display errors

It would likely require an abstract plugin class to be defined, search paths, and passing the top level BOARD object, but this would allow "userland" DRC for component clearance errors and such.
