I changed the integer layer number to a LAYER_ID with conversion to and

64,367).
New layers added are Plating, HoleFill, KeepOut, ViaPlug, Contacts,
PeelMask, Finish, Courtyard, Component, Coating, Probe, Fixture.
There was a distinction between copper layers and tech layers - I'm assuming these are all 'tech
layers'? or is this still a valid distinction?
I put it on my wiki - can you check that I'm not misleading?

(also note my comments there about copper = solder-side and component = front side (Many boards have
parts on both front and back.) can we use better nomenclature?
Also, what happens with board old files? Do they get converted? Compatible etc?
Thanks for your efforts..
