While working on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/9867 I noticed my patch
showed up with a lot of linting issues in code I did not touch, to a point
where the view was very cluttered by lintian issues. Here is my second
try to reduce the number of issues discovered by the linter. Some
issues are still left, as I fail to see how to sensibly reduce the number of
parameters or local variable used.
The issue only happen when splitting jobs on tools (orderby == Tool), and when
USE_TLO was active and the preamble include G49. The first move is then done
before tool height is set, and can cause damage if the existing tool height is set
to more than the gap between the spindle and the table or work piece, when the machine
take a sudden dive straight down.
Removed move between G49 and first G43, to ensure all moves are done after G43
correctly set tool height compensation.
Rewrote code to introduce new method fixtureSetup() to ensure all orderby alternatives
behave the same way.
Fixes#9866.
When starting FreeCAD for the first time, it load the HTML content of
src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html and show it as a friendly startup page.
Unfortunately, one of the tabs in the startup page is an iframe loading the content of
https://blog.freecadorg/. The effect is that every time one start FreeCAD, it dial
home over the Internet with a HTTP request to the mentioned URL. This is a privacy
problem. At the moment the blog page in turn will connect to https//i0.wp.com/ and
https//s0.wp.com/, in effect also reporting the startup to Wordpress. Please do not
dial out without the expressed approval and on request of the user of the program.
This patch change the startup page to instead of putting the blog posts in a tab, it
will link to the blog and the connection is only established when the user click on
'BLOG' in the start page. It include a link tooltop to make it easier to understand
that this will bring the user to a new page.

This fixes the following appstream warning and make program show up in the appstream
data set:
asv-desktop-app-launchable-missing
This `desktop-application` component is missing a `desktop-id`
launchable tag. This means that this application can not be launched
and has no association with its desktop-entry file. It also means no
icon data or category information from the desktop-entry file will
be available, which will result in this application being ignored
entirely.
Part of Debian FreeCAD edition since 2023.
