Loading STEP files into some other CAD software can take quite some time depending on the complexity of the STEP file. A board with a lot of vias takes several minutes to load into FreeCAD. While 3D component models can be excluded (worst case even by deleting individual ones after export, like all bypass caps), editing the board itself is not that easy since it is one single 3D object. This adds a STEP export setting to exclude all holes/vias below a given diameter. (Generally speaking, while larger holes can be important to have in the STEP export, there's generally some cut off below which you don't care, like 1mm.)

WORK IN PROGRESS / DRAFT.
As discussed in #720, a way to exclude some packages from STEP export.
after coding this I realized it doesn't need the 2 treeviews with ← / → buttons… one treeview with checkboxes would be perfectly fine. after is always when you realize these things, I guess.
Out of time for now, not sure when I can redo it with checkboxes instead of 2 treeviews. Leaving it here as a draft for now 😄
