Transform jumpers into graphical polygons

Seth Hillbrand requested to merge github/fork/sethhillbrand/jumpers_use_poly into master

DRC is not yet smart enough to distinguish jumpered pads when they touch, so we work around this for 5.1 by using graphical polygons on the F.Cu layer.

This separates the jumpered pads into pads and connecting polygons. This formulation allows DRC checks to pass and routing to happen on both pads without requiring DRC errors allowed.

This does not change the pad shape or size for the affected footprints. bildschirmfoto_2019-02-25_12-57-55 bildschirmfoto_2019-02-25_12-57-41 bildschirmfoto_2019-02-25_12-57-29 bildschirmfoto_2019-02-25_12-57-13 bildschirmfoto_2019-02-25_12-56-48
