This typically happens for LEDs behind the panel. We can't really add a label since the element is not going through the panel, so it is expected the user won't use a label for those elements.

This PR adds a way to bring translucence to a PCB-based front panel, by removing the copper and solder mask layers on a specific shape dictated by the user.
In practice, this is done by adding a new property
layerto graphic elements suck aslabel,lineandimage:silkscreen: ink UV-printed on the panel,translucence: copper and soldermask removed.Note
In the simulator, we assume that a LED would cover a disk of around 1cm diameter on the front panel.
Also, neighboring light won't influence each others.
In short, the simulation is very crude and just here to check basic mistakes.
