Extend cutouts into space between PCBs

Prerequisites

• [X] I have read the documentation and the proposed feature is not implemented.

Description

If a PCB has a cutout on its edge, the cutout should extend into the space between the PCBs (backbone) and not end at the v-cut line.

Unpanelized:

Current behaviour:

This is now implemented in 19f7f17
