1.0.96: 1.0.96: three more standard verbs answered fully: net_connections, remove_items and doc_params (standard 0.30.4).

- **kicad_net_connections:** every pad with its net and owner (U1.3) in mils. Per net it gives the span and the airline length: the minimum spanning tree over its pads, the shortest copper a router could need. - **kicad_remove_items:** deletes free tracks, arcs and vias given by their geometry, exactly as kicad_routing_state reported them (the standard's y-up frame; frame:"kicad" for KiCad's own). - One result per item: ok, or err:not found. - An open board takes it as one Undo step; a closed board is written with a backup. - expectedRevision is optional, and the live edit still refuses a board that changed while it was prepared. - **kicad_doc_params:** parameters KiCad's title block has no field for (DrawnBy, DocumentNumber, ...) are now kept as the project's text variables, which the title block and any text show as ${Name}. The reply lists them all as params, with the standard's set and saved. Before, those parameters were reported as notStored.
