[Unreleased]

Changed

• Removed the "plot" option "check_zone_fills". Use the preflight option.
• Drill outputs: map.type and report.filename now should be map and report. The old mechanism is currently supported, but deprecated.
• Now the command line usage is more clearly documented, but also more strict.
• The --list option doesn't need a PCB file anymore. Note that passing it is now considered an error.
• Now we test the PCB and/or SCH only when we are doing something that needs them.

Added

• -e/--schematic option to specify any schematic (not just derived from the PCB name.
