I just committed a fix to snap-to-self.  If you move an element, it won't
snap to any of its own pins or pads.

If you move a via, it won't snap to any vias or pins (since it can't go
there anyway, and it covers the 'self' case).

I entertained the idea of adding other smarts, like only snapping to
pads when you're on the same layer, but search.c doesn't make that kind
of thing easy.
