BGA pads are now circles- im concerned about autorouting and calculate-packing and their approximation rects (also for pill pads)

<@757706909351411845> Can I try fixing the approximation for circle and pill pads? I can work on the approximation rects used for packing/autorouting

you should reproduce the bug if it exists

if you can reproduce it then you could work on the implementation but i don't assign tasks

Could you please check the reproduction? Is it a correct reproduction?
