Use kicad_dnp in Pick & place

[hardwaremaker]

Currently, the output type "position" does not recognize the kicad dnp flag. Would be very helpful to have this option.

Please elaborate, currently you must apply a filter in order to get components filtered. And if you apply filters then the following option controls the KiCad DNP flag:

            self.kicad_dnp_applied = True
            """ The KiCad v7 PCB flag *Do Not Populate* is applied to our fitted flag before running any filter """

Do you want an option to make it happen even when no filters are applied?
Note that currently any filter will do the work:

def reset_filters(comps):
    logger.debug('Filters reset')
    for c in comps:
        c.included = True
        # If the global kicad_dnp_applied variable is True try to copy the DNP flag from KiCad v7
        c.fitted = not GS.global_kicad_dnp_applied or c.kicad_dnp is None or not c.kicad_dnp
        c.fixed = False
        c.back_up_fields()

Hi @hardwaremaker !

If you don't clarify your request I'll just close it.
