switch off the bottom layer while auto routing.

In pcb thru hole pads are complex objects called "pins". These are hard 
coded to be holes with the same annulus on every copper layer. So you can't 
selectively remove the bottom pads from a thru hole pin. 

Currently, the notion of customizable pad stacks is unknown to pcb. Efforts 
to introduce them would surely be welcome by many users.
